Depression Poems | Examples of Depression Poetry

I'm so tired, don't want to do this anymore. Please just leave, and be sure to close the door. No, I don't want to talk, I want to be left alone. Now who the hell is that? Where's my damn phone? Just what part of go don't you understand? You turn and you leave, and don't come back again. I'm sorry, but it's just been one of those...

At first his anger was hotter than July Or, rather, he was plundered by the weight of Sorrow —heavier than the ice of January; The kind of stolid ice that thickened Niagara Falls Like frozen soup. He was tall and lissome, bespectacled, in Dark suits, a brown hat, worn-out shoes of fraternity. A folded umbrella accompanied him like a touring child. No wristwatch. He...

I took another pill today To take the blinding pain away I drifted into loneliness The only friend I'll never miss I walked the line so I could see A spec dust to set me free Sadistic how I'm suferring This night between us, buffering I took a tab at half past two Can't you see I'm using you? I'm drifting into waves of bliss They...

As I sit and wonder why, one who dreams, she never cries She always smiles but yet I doubt, That anyone knows what she's smiling about....

I have a raging storm inside my head. Black as a dog, clouds roll by without end. A warning flash of lightning is my dread Another surge of dark thoughts will descend. I feel deep rumblings start and then I know Relentless raindrops form behind my eyes. Storm clouds within my mind begin to grow And flooded plains of anger start...

Yesterday you lied Yesterday you cried Yesterday you wish you died Today you sit Today you quit Today you have no wit Tomorrow you keep Tomorrow you weep Tomorrow you may even leap Take my hand I insist Don’t resist Let’s persist Together we’ll band Together we’ll stand Together we’ll never land...

Some days, I’m still fighting the urge to light a cigarette—missing those rippling ribbons of smoke and the way they would uncoil in the dark, humid air. I’ve been coughing so much lately, and my lungs will hardly expand for any air that isn’t polluted at the source. I’ve been hacking up my lungs, and...

I’ve never learned the art of a reliable recipe, only the art of guessing who might eat it. I will learn what you love, the way you take your coffee, that you’d rather have mustard on your sandwich, that you prefer your toothpaste tastes like fruit instead of mint. You see, I try too hard. My food can’t be one flavor— that would...

Love is like a void until it will accept you it's gonna deprived every qualities of your, but the best part of these voids is that one day it's gonna accept you or leave you and then you will get your qualities again but you will see it with her eyes. Because that's what made...

The irony does not slide past me. My favourite song became my reality in two years time. A song that I loved but didn't understand now sits in my head burned into my mind as something I understand all too well. ...

My love garden remains unweeded, Each planted flower slowly wilting. A shadow spreads across my sunlight, And a storm lingers without rainfall. Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart, No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart. Agony, sorrow, deep dejection— Reflections in my shattered mirror. My tear burns hot enough to bake bread, Depression drapes a cloak on my head. Love tortures like a...

The interior is a scary place with hallways that seem to go on forever and doors behind which there are darkened or half lit rooms with nothing inside except eyes that watch you out of slits in face masks hung upon the wall. There are whispers creeping along corridors and out on the far edges of hearing, the sound of someone calling. This...

I stand in the rain Unready to start again The chilling breeze Brings me to my knees I light a fire but it burns out Casting me in the shadow of doubt Your smile used to light up my heart Now the memory rips it apart Ten years ago you went away As I simmer in the turmoil of that memorial today I can hear...

I was told the sky was endless, But mine was a feather away A low lid of shadows. Every step echoes in a room That was never meant to hold me. Still, they say, reach higher. But my hands find only fog, And my faith slips through it Like water through open fingers. In despair, or deep sleep I open my eyes But I’m blind Feeling my...
