Depression Poems | Examples of Depression Poetry

The outside is where I belong The inside so filmiar A constant stride to belong To fit the mold of what a man should be Weak I am cancered by self denial When will it end for me Alone I be What a disappointment A shaded comparison of where I started I seek something But back away When it gets hard I blame all but...

I miss my dear friends At Poetry soup I’ve been on the mend And out of the loop Times have been trying As most of you know Excessive crying Can dampen one’s glow Please let me back in Despite time that’s passed I need you, dear friends And that’s all I ask ...

Once in a lifetime that special person comes along Being with them reminds you of a long-lost song A friendship grows and the bond is strong Then something happens and you do them wrong They give you a chance to make things right You do your best, you last a few nights Yet once again you prove you ain’t so bright What...

You think I escape I promise, you’re wrong This, devil red, tape More thick than it’s long When my lids flutter In slumber, I drift As with a stutter The problem won’t lift The horror still plays My mind will not sleep My conscious obeys You call this my “peak” If only you knew The depth of my pain Stronger than glue All fears still remain So when...

You tied the noose that I hang from I stare at the writing on the wall I feel like all the words are written wrong My feet can’t find the stall I wish my thoughts would just be gone I am the rope in which they tie I can’t seem to shape the future of my life Got me thinking am I...

the life i chase once an angelic light, why does it fade into the grip of night? heart you are my crown i'm sorry they're beating you down. bleeding heart dont cry, they're gone, there is no sense in asking why. please no more bleeding, no more old texts, your the only one reading, i beg, finish deleting old photos we're the only...

In the deepest darkest depression, a void where stars expire, A mind adrift in cosmic gloom, no orbit to aspire. No comet’s blaze, no planet’s course, no light to guide the way, A nebula of shattered thoughts, where hope has bled to gray. Within this skull, a black hole reigns, where memories collapse, Each fleeting dream,...

The Stars. They are like holes in the deep of darkness, Through which our little hope escapes, The hope that helps us survive... In a world full of irony....

i settle for the littlest scraps i can secure; i settle for the littlest scraps, and even then they're hard to procure. i kneel for the most jaded of hearts; i kneel for the jaded hearts, even when my own is pierced through by stray darts. i vouch for the blandest demeanors i can find; i vouch for the bland...

The old facts lie, the old truth dies Everything needs update The new facts open our eyes Revisionism is great New lemming-minded must observe This harsh reality The world we thouroughly deserve Our ancestors couldn’t see So after cleaning it looks fine This good old brave new world Its pharisees and philistines Its glorified absurd What’s new, looks old, and in reverse Its all the same,...

In tattered stacks I sought my way, through dusty tomes of lore To trace the steps of yesterday, reflections of a time afore Where apparitions haunt the mist and tarry for a while To sadly rue the curs'd path of follies artful guile A shadowed figure paused paying heed to my regard And from the silent mien I collected my...

I've strolled the boardwalk in hopes of taming the beast countless times. When the phone betrayed me, the ocean was a friend like no other. Crushing my hate on the grains of sand on a balmy August night without second thought. Self doubt, disbelief, and time unlimited will torture in ways unimaginable. Fear is heavy to the man who...

why must you be this way, we came united and you know our ways, you spreaded your wings and left, you have forgotten of what we descended of, and you left us ashamed, i cry alone in the dark, awaiting for your return, but in the end its just stone cold, i wish you came back but it will never be true....

What do you do when your head feels like a million pounds, your chest is buried underground, where worms and slugs and filth abound, and rocks compound overhead, compounding a heaviness which even the heaviest cannot heave. Where mere moments make a millennia of torment - For sleepless nights make endless days and endless days make immortality - And mine is underground Far Far Underground Where hell itself...
