Best Depress Poems


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 sunny day.

Rainy, Cloudy, stormy
Is  what I’m used to
Give me sunny give me summer
But even in this season all is see is dullness.


They say darkness is  peaceful
Oh really? I say
I don’t think so
‘Coz for me it feels torture.

Maybe someday I would
–I can appreciate the night
I wish I may, I wish I might
But I can’t if darkness of the night is the only thing I see.

Give me a glimpse of light 
And I would appreciate the night
Hand me a bit of gleam
And maybe I can learn to embrace the darkness.

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 you’ve started grazing long unfed cattle.  

Any time your lips make a plosive 
You’ve acted like an explosive; 
Your siblings you fend 
You nutritionally defend; 
Whenever you’ve started one praising 
You are a morale raising 
And some self doubts erasing; 
Not just words phrasing. 

And when you rant 
Your desire near their grant 
Just as when your tiredness you pant
 People now know you “can’t”

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 feel lost,
Wasted and shunned like a rotten fruit
You want to be seen and acknowledged ,
For your slotted pain,
That keeps entering your soul,
Flooding that “once upon a time” swag,
That you have in your zodiac. 
You try hard,
Trying to protect your fragile mind,
Constantly attacked by timeless time. 
Your fears run a marathon,
Instead of your legs 
Your shadow watches you,
Rather than your pets.
Wait, do I make sense ?
No, let me get back to the point. 
Step up , my sweetness 
Unveil yourself to the world of madness,
Where reality actions your brain,
To a world of happiness again. 
Daydream, self talk , stage your dreams 
and sleep walk. 
Place your heart over your head,
And let the golden light clear your mess. 
Rise up from being a voiceless extinct, 
Spread your blissful gown,
Far across the land, where women will talk 
And men will stalk  
And they will murmur in Romeo's style,
O, she doth teach the torch to 
burn bright!

So, you my friend
Here I am presenting you,
A coffin to depress depression 
And erase it from your precious mind,
And bathe in the sweetness of your life.


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 deeper into debt. 

Buy it now and pay later. 

Those well-worn words that sound brand new. 

So go ahead, and place your bet. 

And later learn what the house rule really is. 

Those with the very least, 

Always pay the most.

To Depress To Care

Today is the most depress 
I have ever been
I talked to my kids on the phone today
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 
But sense I've lost them
My world been one big spining top
that never stops 
I would do anything to have them back
But ever time I fight I lose
I just want to step in traffic
And say forget
I try and be strong but
I don't know how much longer 
I can be strong
Cause my weekness is shinning threw
A little more each day

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 cheek to cheek
Your pathetic ways might make me weak
But you may never strip my happiness


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 me to the highest mountain,
Where You took my hand,
And soar with me.

High above the clouds,
Higher then my sorrows.
I soar with You,
Above all my despair.

He's a flirt with his anxieties,
Collecting tauted nerves.
She's a pen who haunts his remedies,
And with these words she serves.

He'll romanticize the painful,
And unto pleasure, gain.
Where a page was turned to tar,
With her baneful, poisoned stain.

All that glitters looks amiss,
While they write together sin.
Whereby lovers part by kiss,
Muses part by apitoxin.
