    • By Caitlin Glaspell
    • Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011 with permission of the Author.

    No one will ever truly know me.
    How can they when they never even try?
    Because I smile, they assume I am happy.

    • By Chris Trottier
    • Published by Family Friend Poems April 2014 with permission of the Author.

    Each night I find myself sitting against the tree,

    • By Anonymous
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2012 with permission of the Author.

    I've tried. Time and time again, I've tried.
    To not cut, to not be weak, to not fall into temptations.
    You single-handedly abolished whatever pieces of my heart were left.
    You see the struggles I've been through. You still leave me, like I'm nothing.
