Depression Poems | Examples of Depression Poetry

It comes in waves Before you know it Was it always there It comes in waves You didn’t think about it today Did I make it up Is pain a feeling I’ve ever known It comes in waves This time was stronger than usual The emptiness it left seems bigger than the space inside of me. Gulping down anything to furnish the...

Hear me out please, Lord, for to you I do pray. I’ve lost my direction lately, will you point the way? I’m trying to redirect myself as you asked me to. Now I need your help, I am counting on you. Should I sit here and wait for you, I don’t have a clue. I...

These are things in my past, of which I’m not proud. I did these things merely to fit in the crowd. The direction of my life, I didn’t have a clue. I saw many people, Lord, claiming to know you. I would avoid them, due to the things that they’d say. Like repent to be...

It was cold and freezing in the city of Denver. A day in my life I will always remember. The sound of sirens wailing all around. The police had gathered near a body on the ground. A man with no home froze there during the night. It filled me with sadness to behold such a...

The most important thing to do, Is seek the One that created you. Jeremiah 17:5 says we are cursed, Whenever we put any humans first. A bunch of misfits that's who we are. Worshiping Musicians and Movie Stars! Let one of them die or be in trouble like you. And what is the first thing people do? All of a sudden they want...

Buy orange juice. It’s on the list. There’s nothing like it. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all. Buy milk. There’s two percent. Whole milk. Doesn’t fill the void. Doesn’t make me less depressed. Skim milk. Is disappointing and watery. I wish I could figure out what’s making me depressed. Buy bread, and coffee. Buy new clothes, but...

"Nap," written in blue Resting means I'm a burden Get no rest at night To see the depths of my soul You might just know rejection ...

I slipped through reality, In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial. Just when I thought, I was over it It came back to haunt to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't They say faded memories don't taunt you. But when they do I leave everything behind Even my conscience to- Run away to hide in...

Loss is love leaving lavender lips dry As a sunless sky and moonless night As bothered as babe who’s red eyes cry And hollow as a jilted wilted barren bride You took love depriving my muse oxygen Weeping she waits for it to breathe again Cranberry kisses are no longer a dream No imaginary white wedding dress esteem Nothing borrowed not...

These four walls, how they stifle. How they bind and choke. Their cheap white paint Seems to whisper: Let me go! Is this not a home, Soft and safe, Friend of one and all? But a cell, Narrow and close, Bereft of fresh air, Bidding me stay. Tis danger out there. No, the danger is here, Not to my flesh, More, to my soul. The danger is here, Inside these four...

Hidden in weeds heart vavle on squeeze Watch me not bleed Even if it cuts deep Keeps you away from My boredom pale bule face Made you see, me The unloveable me On a big screen undressing this soul A human floating above Spirts weak from night terror screams. Dark heart beating weak You stared right though my...

They told me that I would fall, Not knowing I had alot in store. I felt the pain, But I new someday I would gain. Nobody to trust nobody to lose, I had no option but to choose. It was so hard to open up, Sometimes I would even feel like it was a trap. I had to be strong, So I had someone...

I think it's getting worse The visions happen less Now I don't dream but still I feel it nonetheless I feel impending doom A danger I can't explain A parabola of needles A sense of helpless pain I sit there non-existent Or at least not of this plain I try to cry but don't know how To feel present, much less sane I sit in utter silence Longing...
