Premium Member Dear Depressed
Dear Depressed, you’re the cuckoo who flew
From the cuckoo’s nest. Go get a clue!
You are  too hot to trot
For a guy who has got
Not a semblance of interest in you.

He won’t call you back? Here’s the buzz:
He does NOT pick his phone up because
well,...

Dear ‘Depressed’:  So you’re in a mess.
You’re not sure what to do.
I think I have your answer, because
Your boyfriend contacted me too.

Now, you may not be happy
With what he had to say.
When I asked him if he loves you,
He made a face and said,...

Though your heart be breaking and you don't know what to do.

Being Depressed Is My Way of Living
If it’s that easy to lose you… then go
People always leave, trust no one even yourself
I love myself for losing you
You can’t deny the fatal truth.. I don’t love you
I’ll never regret the decision to lose you
My soul won’t rest until I forget you
The longer...

Depressed
My mind is boggled down
My chest feels wrapped too tight,
Just wanna curl up in a ball
Sure as hell don't wanna fight.

I wanna lean back in my chair
Close my eyes and float away
Cause the sh* that's piling up.
Is just too much for today.

My eyes are feeling...

When I Am Depressed
When I am depressed
I float in self-pity
I roam in fantasy
I bask in solitude

When I am depressed
Thought of God bores me
Thought of family irritates me
Thought of life bores me 

When I am depressed
Doctors question than test
Doctors suggest than prescribe
Doctors philosophize than treat

When I am depressed
Self-confidence eludes...

I Feel Depressed
My soul is dark
Blackened by my misery-self pity
I feel depressed
What does that mean?

At 30 years of age, I have learnt so much
Yet,accomplished nothing
My life is stationery, maybe regressing
But no forward movement

Progress?
Achievement?
Goals?
Words I so carelessly abuse 
But never apply
I, my own worst instrument of destruction

I am...

Jesus I'M Depressed I Need You
Jesus, I’m Depressed… 
 I Need YOU!

My life seems to be going
in an “evil direction.”
I wonder if I'm going
 through depression.

The people I once loved...
 I see no more.
Life seems to be so "dry."
And "a bore."

My life seems to have be en
"turned upside down"
There's no...

School
School
They say they are here to help,
Yet have never actually helped.
They say they are there,
They are nowhere.
I don't see why they hate me,
Maybe they just can’t see.
All this rage,
I want to change.
I hate who I have become,
Yet I'm still so young.
I try to do good,
They...

Premium Member Sad Sighs
over eighty but still smiley and spry
he met each new day with joy in his eyes

he loved to golf and he loved to bowl
both were his fun and fulfilling goals

one day playing golf with his skilled swing
he scored below par - his favorite thing
he rushed...

Scars
I run my hand across my wrist,
The rough scars feel normal under my fingers,
But to anyone else, they would be foreign.
I was a fighter, I had to be,
But everything has its consequences.
Running the blade across my own wrist was mine,
It was the only way for...

This Disease
It began by taking my heart
attacking my immunity
warming me up as hot as fever
leaving it broken in disunity.

It traveled on, to my mind
destroying on its course through me
my veins lay broken and sad, alone
but my pain was masked by "hopefully".

I carried on for a thousand...

The Storm
The storm overhead slowly edges over you without you noticing.
The eerie storm and its clouds starve you of the sunshine you once got so much of.

The storm goes and the sunshine, back again; but never long. Day after day the dread of the impending storm...

I Am An Adult
I’ve become an adult and I now have things to do.
I work 8 hours a day
Shower my teeth, brush my body
Walk my car and drive my dog when needed
I’m a busy man.

I’ve got it all under control.
I files my taxes and documents in the same...
