Depression. Poems - Poems about Depression.

Wreckage of moments thoughts born in the space of actions Reactions to the stimulation Expressions, expectations Ruined little things, broken Alone, a cry sold in old Scattered around after a war's toil Hear the rage far and away drone I walk in the ruins of soul I feel forgotten in foreign soil The drifting of imagery Pressing the fragments Shards hard into skin Forsaken forbearing fringes...

a lone ancient dark night Your engine stumbles rumbles, coughs to a stop so close to E The gas pump, blocky, digital smells of gasoline like a primordial dance an intercourse of machines rape of a Mesozoic age, processed Petrol in a tank, deep Swipe card, digital hum of circuitry Choose your poison, your savor Buttons—regular, premium, Reek of diesel Corruption So many...

Each day is the same; we all sit here and wait, listening for the sound of the chains on the gate. You see, that’s our signal; that’s our cue; that’s how we know what we're to do. We all soon learn what each sound is for, even before someone's open the door. We get excited when the laundry is clean, the high...

You’ll Pick out everybody’s problems but you wont help your self You’d rather sit alone in pity then take care of your health You act like it’s everybody’s fault you’ve got nothing to gain using Magic capsules to escape your own brain Can’t give yourself a break so you wanna do it over again Someone help this monkey...

No variation in this dark tomb Spinning in orbit of loss and the need for needing Grey spirits begging for my healing Grey spirits crawling along the ceiling Madness is my adaptation Lost in the essence of essential reverence Lost spinning for a need of your presence Chased by the haunting past and present Here I come to loom No variation...

All these hours he won’t get back A clock on the wall, a heart with a crack He watches the hours and how they pass by Did you steal the stars from the midnight sky? Long Hello’s but quicker goodbyes, He carries them all, in his tears and his sighs He runs from the light, he jumps at the noise Of...

I wake with the weight again a shadow that speaks in my own voice, telling me there’s no point. But I’ve learned not to argue with ghosts who have memorized all...

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...
