41. I'm Hiding Deep Inside
- By Rachel Zalakos
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011
This poem reflects exactly what I feel, but will never tell my family or friends. It shows how I hide behind my mask, which is slowly coming apart. It says how I don't tell them because I can deal with it in my own way, and they don't need to worry.

Can no one see this smile I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm constantly shaking?
These people all claim they know me well,
Yet no one can see through my crumbling shell?

Can no one see this smile I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm constantly shaking?
These people all claim they know me well,
Yet no one can see through my crumbling shell?

"I'm fine", I whisper, my sadness unknown,
They leave me to deal with this anguish alone.
I've hidden behind this wall most of my life,
I've managed so far, I've dealt with my strife.

Watching as, slowly, my blood leaks away,
It helps to keep life's true horrors at bay.
I pull down my sleeve to cover my hurt,
For approaching footsteps, I'm on the alert.

I guess my pretense is just all too real,
No one has to know of the pain that I feel.
The real me inside, where no one can see,
I can fool everyone else, why can't I fool me?

42. I'm Going To Explode
- By Kim
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009
Can't Be The Real Me

I'm going to explode,
If I stay here any longer.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I'm under so much pressure.

I'm going to explode,
If I stay here any longer.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I'm under so much pressure.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I can't even cry.
I'm going to explode,
Cause God I want to die.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I can't ever smile.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I want something worth while.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I know I'll never be free.
I'm going to explode,
Cause I can't be the real me.

43. Cheated My Love
- By Tanya
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010
To every girl who has been treated like a fool by their own father, this is dedicated to you.

Feelings Of Resentment Towards Father

Growing up was tough because of you
You left and didn't care what I went through
Without you, I survived and grew

Growing up was tough because of you
You left and didn't care what I went through
Without you, I survived and grew

You were supposed to be my dad
but your actions were so bad
when I succeed you are never glad

You never tried to care
Never gave me your love to share
To forgive you I would never dare
Treated me so unfair
when I needed you, you weren't there

I don't trust the world because of what you did
I don't believe anything you ever said

All you ever did was lie
Always made me cry
You were why I wanted to die
You'll never stop you won't even try

You are so cruel
Treated me like I was your fool
Never took me to my first day of school

I want you out of my life
Go be happy with your new wife

I have resentment towards you
I hate who you are
Stay away, stay far

You make me sick
I can't stand your voice
I hate you for making the wrong choice

44. You Left Me For No Reason
- By Hannah Smallwood
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2012
I was only 15 months old when my mom left me. My dad wouldn't let me spend the night with her until I was 5 because she would always take me to someone else's house and leave me there. I cry sometimes still, but I have another mom who is much better.

You had me, you left me, you never cared.
I was your second child and still you weren't prepared.

On the lonely nights when I was sad,

You had me, you left me, you never cared.
I was your second child and still you weren't prepared.

On the lonely nights when I was sad,
You were the one who made me feel bad.

You were never there to wipe my tears.
You weren't there for me throughout the years.

When I was lonely, you weren't there.
I guess that's because you didn't care.

I could never forgive you for what you did,
Because sometimes I wished I was dead.

Without a mother, I was lost and confused.
If parenting were a contest, you would lose.

Call me or write me, you never did.
How could you do that to your own kid?

You had me, you left me, you never cared,
You are the reason that I was scared.

All those days that I've been upset
Will soon become your biggest regret.

You never even called just to say hi.
You never even called just to say goodbye.

Years and years passed and still no word.
The words I love you I never heard.

When I was sick, you didn't comfort me.
When I was hurt, you didn't bandage me.

I don't want you to be a part of my life,
No matter how many times you apologize.

I'm just gonna pretend like you didn't even exist,
Because you didn't even give me one last kiss.

You had me, you left me, you never cared.
My most important memories we never shared.

45. You Don't Really Love Me
- By Emily Smith
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011
I am only a 14 year old girl. This poem describes how hard it was me when I was little growing up without a mom. She left my father, four brothers, and I when I was only 2 years old. Being I was young, I didn't remember her and just assumed that everybody only had a dad. I quickly learned this wasn't true, and realized that my brother's "made up stories" about our alcoholic, cheating mother were true. I also learned that if she loved me, she never would have left.

Rotten Mother Poem

You left when I was only two,
Daddy had no idea what to do.
You never turned to say bye,
If you had, you would have seen Daddy cry.

You left when I was only two,
Daddy had no idea what to do.
You never turned to say bye,
If you had, you would have seen Daddy cry.

I forgot all about you as I grew,
And Daddy mentioned you few and few.
I went to school and became distressed,
The first day I came home a mess.

Being when you left I was small,
I couldn't remember you at all.
I thought that I just didn't have a Mommy,
Until a new kid saw me.

She asked about my Daddy,
I said he was nice.
She asked about my Mommy,
And I froze like a vice.

I then asked, "What's a Mommy?",
And she let out a laugh.
"A Mommy is a person that loves you,
And makes you take a bath."

I told her I didn't have one,
She looked at me sad.
"Of course you have one silly!
She's the girl version of Dad!"

I stared at her for quite a while,
But couldn't get myself to smile.
A few tears slid down my face,
"Wait! Don't cry! Why don't we have a race!"
I shook my head and walked away,
And I will always remember that day.

The day I felt my most crummy,
Is the day I realized my Mommy didn't love me.
For if she did, she would have stayed.
Each day I always prayed.

She would quit her cheating,
And cut back on the beers.
I wanted her close,
As I looked at my peers.

I wanted my Mommy back,
Even if she didn't love me.
I wanted my Mommy right then,
Just so she could hug me.

46. If Only Walls Could Talk
- By Bonnie Reed
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2014
I'm living with depression, countless nights of waking up screaming from nightmares, beating myself up, cutting, crying, screaming. My dad tried to kill me when I was little, and I watched my mom get raped. I'm constantly trying to be a better person. This is aimed at all my friends for if something does happen to me, I want to express myself without doing something stupid.

If only walls could talk,
They'd tell you about me,
And how they hear me scream
And watch me while I bleed.

If only walls could talk,
They'd tell you about me,
And how they hear me scream
And watch me while I bleed.

If only walls could talk,
They'd tell you I was damned.
Surprised that I'm not dead,
With a knife clutched to my hand.

If only walls could talk,
They'd tell you how I cry.
All the pain that's in my eyes
That's eating me alive.

If only walls could talk,
They'd tell you to be strong,
To keep on moving on,
Long after I'm gone.

47. Battle Within Myself
- By Kristin Lore
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2011
When I can't sleep, writing poetry helps me. But it shows too much of me, the side I don't want people seeing. This poem, I think, is TMI. But something about it, I think it's suitable. I'm sitting here at my computer with my eyes glazing over, trying to think of something meaningful to say about this poem, but I think it says it all.

Self Harm

Have you ever sat up at night
And just let your barrier down?
Brick by brick.
I've sat in silence and cried

Have you ever sat up at night
And just let your barrier down?
Brick by brick.
I've sat in silence and cried
Plenty of times.
I've let it defeat me,
Made me think I'm worthless,
I let the burden of my thoughts get to me
Like safety pins and razors.

I regret it.
Now I've got the scars.
They remind me
Of how the scarlet red trickled down my skin.
I regret the pleasure it gave me,
How I felt I needed it to happen.

I regret that I let my family and friends
Down. Discover. Drown in pain.
All because...
I let the anxiety and wretchedness reach me.
I let it control me...
The pain, the pleasure.
It gave me peace.

Makes me cringe.

The thoughts I think
Overtake me sometimes.
Sometimes...
I like to go back
To the feelings,
To the way it was cold against my skin.

Sometimes
I think I'm good enough to stop,
But something reminds me
I'm not.

Just sometimes
I'd like to end it all...

Only sometimes.

48. Am I Good Enough?
- By Ken
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2013
I didn't feel like I was heard by anyone, including my family, so I stopped trying and wrote this poem.

Poem About Feeling Ignored

Sometimes I feel unimaginable pain.
It's always in my mind, within my brain.
It dwells inside all of my heart
And inside my veins.

Sometimes I feel unimaginable pain.
It's always in my mind, within my brain.
It dwells inside all of my heart
And inside my veins.

No one listens to my voice.
No one wants to hear me,
So now I tell them to save their breath
And just leave me be.

People don't care.
All they want
Is me out of their face.

You lie about my respect.
You lie about me being loved.
All I am to you
Is something to be shoved.

Always put aside
With sadness, anger, and hate in my eyes.
Please let me be good enough
And stop telling me these lies.

49. The Weeping Willow
- By Chris Trottier
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2014
Hey, Chris Trottier here, author of "The Weeping Willow." I've suffered from depression for many years, let it be from loneliness, hate, abandonment or just simple sadness. Youngest in the pack, both from mother and father's children from previous relationships, I never really had someone to talk to or anything. Being the unpopular guy, you tend to be bullied and be stuck in a zone where you're always alone. Perhaps you feel the same; if so, I hope you enjoy "The Weeping Willow."

Poem About Pain And Losing Hope

Each night I find myself sitting against the tree,
Hating myself, locking my heart and throwing away the key,
I sit there and wait, just hoping for the someone who may care.
No one ever comes, nor will they, I am aware.

Each night I find myself sitting against the tree,
Hating myself, locking my heart and throwing away the key,
I sit there and wait, just hoping for the someone who may care.
No one ever comes, nor will they, I am aware.
I sit beneath the weeping willow.
Its leaves and shade make my soothing pillow.
Aye, my tears are just fuel for my restless dreams.
Then again, my existence is nothing as it seems.

It all began from a time I am unaware.
I had no friends, no love to share.
My heart shattered, the core went rotten,
My happy days long since forgotten.
My desire in life is simply to die.
I'm sick and tired of having to be in agony and cry.
My parents, family, classmates, they just build it.
They look at me as a mistake, best to fix it.
They hand me the rope and the chair with a smile.
They play it off like they care for a while.
Then they shut the door and sit by the bay,
"Whatever happens, happens," they always say.
The disappointment on their face when I live,
I must be a curse they seek God to forgive.
I'm constantly belittled and told to die.
The moments of love they give are but a lie.

Father who art in heaven, why must I suffer more?
Why have you made collecting my tears a chore?
How have I deserved this? How have I failed you and what must I do?
What more can I do just to please you?
Make this stop, let it end.
Give me love or just a friend.
End this nightmare just for once, even for a moment.
Just stop, stop making everything my opponent!
I cry every night and fake every day.
I make people happy with the words that I say.
Why can't I just sit back and be happy or glad?
WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SO SAD?!

No, you don't care, just like the others,
Just like mother, father and his brothers,
Just like my crush and my exes whom I love.
You're just toying with me, laughing from above.
I'll never get better, this I know.
I have no people to love, no paradise to go.
Perhaps my life will end soon so I may rest.
Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.
Well it's a long way down to hell when you're alone.
Although my life isn't much worse, no one cares to pick up the phone.
Perhaps I'll just stay here while the world becomes a hate billow,
Just stay here...with my weeping willow.

50. Dear Mom
- By Anonymous
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2012
I wrote this poem one day after me and my mom got into a really big fight, and she began to bring things up. My mother doesn't like the fact that I'm gay. She kicked me out when she found out. I really wish she could see how much she is hurting me. We used to be really close. Now we hardly talk.

Mom Won't Accept Gay Child

This pain I feel inside I can no longer hide.
Because of you, I just wanna die.
You told me you would always be here and never let me fall.
Why did you lie?

This pain I feel inside I can no longer hide.
Because of you, I just wanna die.
You told me you would always be here and never let me fall.
Why did you lie?
You denied me just because I was who I wanted to be.
I couldn't be happy.
I felt like nothing.
Remember when you said you wished I was dead?
I still keep that memory in my head.
You put me out on the streets with nothing.
You caused so much hate in me.
I'm not the person I used to be.
You changed me.
You turned the family against me.
I wish you could see how much I'm suffering,
how much I feel lonely.
I wish I could be somebody important to you,
but I know that wish would never come true.

A girl writes about how she feels invisible to the people around her. I felt invisible and alone.

tears in my eyes
my fears alive
dreams were lost
hopes were dry

tears in my eyes
my fears alive
dreams were lost
hopes were dry
all alone
breaking of my heart
no longer wanting to be alive
to play my part
my family hadn't a care for me
my friends barely spoke a word to me
I feel left out
not a soul cared that I exist
and was actually there
but as times flew by, memory of me disappears

56. Lonely Too Long
- By Katie M. Elliott
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
I wrote this poem because due to my shyness and timidity, I feel isolated from meaningful relationships with those around me. I've struggled with loneliness for a long time. The girl in the story is me, sitting in my room, holding myself and watching the storm outside as I often do when I feel alone. The poem describes the reasons behind my loneliness: lack of constant friendships, shyness, being ignored, and more. God is my Comforter during these times. I wouldn't be able to handle it without Him.

The Darkness Of Being Alone

The rain is pouring down again,
And for that she thanks God.
Maybe it will wash away the burning stain
That's hurting her heart tonight.

The rain is pouring down again,
And for that she thanks God.
Maybe it will wash away the burning stain
That's hurting her heart tonight.

White light reveals the room
And the girl falling apart.
She hears a resounding boom,
Like the noise going on in her heart.

She stares out the window and hugs her knees.
She cries to God, "Don't leave me, please."
The darkness reflects her emptiness inside,
For loneliness is what causes her to cry.

"What is wrong with me?" she asks
"Why must I be all alone?"
"I'm tired of hiding behind a mask
And of handling it all on my own."

No one understands the girl's heart
'Cause she'll never force you to listen.
People can't see that she's falling apart,
For she's quiet, and no one will listen.

The voice that was choked into silence
Is now choked by a river of tears,
For she feels caged by her shyness
And by all of her many fears.

Books have been her best friend,
Along with soothing songs,
For the friendships that start soon end,
Or something in them feels wrong.

Being around other people only makes her feel more alone,
For no one else seems to be friendless and on their own.
She looks at their friendships and longs for them to show her the same,
But she feels hopeless, because she doesn't know how to play this game.

The words that could heal her only cut her heart
'Cause they're spoken to another while she's falling apart.
"I love you," "I'm proud of you," or "How was your day?"
Each time she's ignored she continues to waste away.

She daydreams about those she admires a lot
And wonders if they think about her too or not.
She loves people and doesn't want them to feel alone
'Cause she knows what it's like to be all on your own.

So she holds herself tonight,
And faintly she can feel
A comforting presence in her heart
As her Savior holds her tight.

57. A World Of Pain
- By Daniela N.
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2013
This poem is basically about depression and feeling alone. It's about hiding your feelings from the world and putting on an act every day until you get home and break down. This poem talks about how I feel right now.

I'm living in a world of pain.
I'm living a world of hurt.
I'm living in a world of sorrow.
Hiding behind a wall,

I'm living in a world of pain.
I'm living a world of hurt.
I'm living in a world of sorrow.
Hiding behind a wall,
I fake a smile and cover my scars,
Hoping to hide all emotions from friends.
I hide my pain behind a fake smile,
my scars under a jacket,
and as for my tears,
I just hold them in,
waiting till the night when I can drown my sorrows in a pillow.
I am alone in this world.
A world of sorrow and pain.
A world of disappointment and grief.
I'm stuck in a horrible world,
and I don't know what to do.

58. Hope
- By Shak Tabib
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015
I wrote this when I was waiting for an answer from this boy. I was waiting for him to tell me whether or not he was going to give me another chance.

Poem About Hoping For Another Chance

I hope for another chance,
I hope for you to one day be mine,
I hope you can forgive me for what I've done,
I hope you will start trying,

I hope for another chance,
I hope for you to one day be mine,
I hope you can forgive me for what I've done,
I hope you will start trying,
I hope for us to be together,
I hope you understand.
I hope for you to call me,
I hope you take my hand,
I hope for another kiss from you,
I hope you want me like I do,
But hoping just gets you hurt,
Because the things that I hope for
Usually never work,
I sit and I hope every day,
Hoping for you to be my king,
But then I've come to realize
That hope is just a dream.

59. I Didn't Want To Leave You
- By Mackenzie Y
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2014
This is a poem describing what happened to my best friend Amy. Her mom made her move away and leave her boyfriend behind.

Teen Pregnancy

I didn't want to leave you.
I wanted to stay,
but my mother said I had to go,
and so she took me away.

I didn't want to leave you.
I wanted to stay,
but my mother said I had to go,
and so she took me away.

Our baby lives inside me.
She grows a little each day.
Though I'm too young,
I love our daughter either way.

The house that I stay in
is too far away from you.
Our baby needs a father near,
but I don't know what to do.

If only you could come here.
I miss you a lot.
My mother won't allow it,
but who says we'll get caught?

I'm six months pregnant,
and I'm really starting to show.
Even at my new school,
everyone will know.

Each day she grows bigger,
and her due date nears,
and without you with me,
who will soothe my biggest fears?

I didn't want to leave you ,
and my goodbyes weren't classy,
but I really wish you were here.

When I found out I was pregnant, I never thought keeping you was ideal because of the fear of unknown. Abortion is a decision you can't take over night. I kept delaying, not because I...

60. Empty Inside
- By Shianne
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2017
I wrote this when I felt like the whole world was crumbling down around me and like I was never going to be able to get up again.

Description Of Despair

I feel like I'm falling, dying inside.
Wish I could tell you, wish in you I could confide.
Tell you exactly how bad I feel,
How reality fails to be real,

I feel like I'm falling, dying inside.
Wish I could tell you, wish in you I could confide.
Tell you exactly how bad I feel,
How reality fails to be real,
The tears I cry don't get past my eyes.
If reality shows, I cover it with lies.
I can't bear to think what would happen if you knew.
I can't bear to know what you would do.
The screams I build inside of me
Are covered up, begging to be free.
The pain is tearing me apart.
I may have stopped, but again I must start,
For without it I feel lost.
When I'm not happy what's the cost
Of a little bit of me that is spilled
So the emptiness inside of me can be filled?
I know I said I wouldn't again,
But try to understand if you can.
I need to do this to be whole.
I need to do this to piece together my soul.
I need to do this to be able to feel
So I can know exactly what is real.
