She Makes Me Whole
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I've never thought of her as perfect. But she was the closest I've ever been to knowing what it means to belong. The truth is, I still don't know what love means, but when I hear the word, I think of her.

in Short Love Poems

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.
But the pieces she has
left of her heart
match the pieces
missing from mine.
She is not perfect
but she does
make me whole.

One day it will

how precious your

you are worth

There Is An End To This
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I’ve struggled with my mental health for a long time now, and like anything, there are good days and bad days. But even at my lowest points, I try and remember the things I have already survived. I try and remind myself that every cracking sinew is just a moment in time.

Ultimately, no matter how desperate I’ve felt, no matter how unsurvivable the breakdown may seem, the surface of the water is always reachable, eventually. Sometimes you just need to hold your breath a little longer.

in Hope Poems

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when
it feels like
you’re breathing
Lungfuls
of water,
the surface
is closer
than you think.

There's Always Hope
- By Vic Lejon

in Hope Poems

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

keep a light alive inside of you
I know how dark the darkness can get
how tempting it can be

but please remember
you can be your own guiding light
you have the ability to shine despite it all
hope is always with you

Dozens of times
throughout your life,
you’ll outgrow what
you thought you
couldn’t live without,

paths you’d never
travel by choice.
Don’t be afraid.
Have faith.
Trust the journey.

Your Heart Will Mend

Have faith in your heart. I promise it will mend.

in Hope Poems

Of this I am certain:
your heart is a tender
wound that will always heal,

Of this I am certain:
your heart is a tender
wound that will always heal,

finds warmth even when
it has frozen over
like a lake, grows roots
after crawling into cold
coffins. There is no break
your heart can’t come back
from.

Stop Trying To Fit Into The World

When you stop trying

I can be the silence

Fixing A Broken Heart
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I can't tell you about healing. But I can tell you about moving forward; about not standing still and hoping the fires behind you don't reach you. Some days there is bravery in just moving your feet, especially when you have no idea where it is you're meant to be going.

I can’t tell you
how to fix
a broken heart,
but I can tell you

I can’t tell you
how to fix
a broken heart,
but I can tell you
the importance
of keeping moving.
I can tell you

which direction to go,
bravery is putting
one foot in front
of the other
anyway.

She Loved Him
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in True Love Poems

She loved him without reason
and without cause
she loved him under water
and in the freezing cold of the deep winter months

She loved him without reason
and without cause
she loved him under water
and in the freezing cold of the deep winter months
she loved him in the dark
and beneath the starry sky
she loved his hands
and his innocent blue eyes
she loved his heart and how big it always seemed to be
she loved him even when things were a little stormy
she loved him before they knew each other’s name
and she will love him until
she takes her last breath
and her heart goes up in flames

Finding hope amidst adversity

Poem Of Hope: Finding Light In The Dark Moments

in Hope Poems

Hope can be found in the moment
when the sun breaks open the day
it can be felt when the stars shine
in the darkest part of the night

Hope can be found in the moment
when the sun breaks open the day
it can be felt when the stars shine
in the darkest part of the night
and when a flower has grown without rain
hope is the thread
that ties the words together
when I write poetry
hope is the reason
you’ve survived
it lives between each heart beat
and it’s in the air you breathe

Give Me That Peace

in Meaningful Poems

I don’t need to be the sun;

I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.

I mean, have you seen
how beautifully the fireflies dance
on warm summer nights?

Give me that peace.
That light.
That choice.
The ability to surround myself in darkness,
or to subtly, yet brilliantly
glow.
