Best Depress Poems


American Depress (New Year's Message In My Mailbox)
Want or need, need or greed. 

All three grow well in the credit garden. 

Regulated by naught except desire, 

To have just a little more, 

Than the one next door. 

Then greed ferments into power for the few. 

Making addicts of the many, 

Drinking ever...

Depress the Depression
Thursday evening, a moment of healing.
Stuck in my bed, thoughts pondering
Thoughts about life’s essence that we breathe out, sparkled with woes
Those days, when your feelings gush out,
Like an army of soldiers ,
Announcing a war between your mind and heart .
You are trying hard,
Harder and tougher
You...

Opress the Depress
You found me again old enemy
I shall not tread your paths
Leave me for you make me ill
Like an infection spreading

You are built upon failure
Therefore you will always be
You may drag me in your abyss
And break me down and deep

But watch me as i smile
That stretches...

I haven't heard their sweet vocies for months
I couldn't hold back my tears
It was like they didn't even know who I was
Man I was so crushed
They are my world...

How Can I Love the Night
This torment 
that i’ve been going through
When will this end?

Day and night passed
But even the day feels night
The gloomy and cloudy of every season
Is the only thing that I see.

What is summer?
What is day?
When all I can see is darkness
Even in the middle of a...

Paradoxes
Whomever you’ve detained 
You’ve retained,
Whatever you’ve maintained
Equally sustained,
The feeling you repressed  
You also suppressed; 
The person you depressed 
You haven’t at all impressed.

One is with another already in battle 
When brought into play one’s mettle;
There will still be new protesting “moos” to settle, 
When...

Come Soar With Me
Come Soar with me


When it was quiet and dark
I was drowning in despair.
My sorrows was to deep,
For me alone to bare.

I called out Your name,
Please I need you now.
I will surrender
This pain is tearing through flesh and bone
I am so alone.

You lifted me up,
And took...
