Dealing With Depressive Loneliness

How would anyone deal with depressive loneliness 
when even the dreariest thoughts allow great fear?
Hiding in that lonely world seems right for some,
having nothing is giving up everything even love;
choose joy or pain, dance alone or drink a beer:
see others indulge in happiness, refill your glass! 

How useless is believing in miracles,
they only happen to

The Fallen Angel


In my dream, I saw an angel, Whose smile lit up the room. As the figure walked toward me, I noticed a dagger embedded in its chest, slowly bleeding.

The angel began to cry in pain, And the suffering grew worse. Blood flooded the scene, As the angel's cries turned into desperate screams.

The pain was so

The Deepest Dark

The deepest dark

Like an unaware monster it sits within
It hungers for you and all
Unsure of its’ meaning
Yet it already feels diminishing

If you let it crawl around inside
You will will only find its’ call
Metastasizing inside your mind and soul
Its’ stench is foul
That of a musk you cannot describe

Driving you to become the creature it intends
Become what

The next time you cry,
Acknowledge the warmth of those salty tears upon your cheeks.
That is what it is to be alive.
To have,
To had.
The moment.
I assure you in those lonely moments,
You will feel how strong you are,
How resilient.

If only,

Manic depressive

3 cups of coffee to keep me awake, astray the train of my thoughts.... Far away, have it your way.
Blue the state of my emotions, like a blue baby please medicate me into a state of meditation.

2 packs of Marlboro to ease the pain, refrain from shame and maybe yes today l feel less

Depressive Thoughts

Things changes…
Those lights fade down,
With suicidal thoughts.
Unknown voices heared,
Pains being beared.
People may look strong,
But, what about those weak,
Weeping child of past.
I don't think that
Dark circles and wrinkles,
Are the markers of depression.
Some times a beautiful mask,
Hides everything behind.
But hope never changes,
 Everything will be fine soon.

Depressive Uplift

Me gambling that once held me up now I’m afraid to utter,
has left me really in the dumps and struggling in the gutter.
No more flamin’ pokies will I play; no horses shall I back,
I’m prepared to take what’s red and have it wrote in black. 

I fought this flamin’ gambling bug for nigh on close

Premium MemberDancing Prancing Cry Cry Cry

Dancing prancing
cry cry cry
Whirling twirling
die die die

Up on the roof top
Laughing with maniacal glee
Saddest moment ever
Keeping this to myself, as you can see

Shopping, buying everything in sight
Wishing someone would unplug me
Or turn out the light

Life of the party, collecting strangers all around
Falling fast, and hard, maybe to never again
Fully be found.

Dancing prancing
Cry cry cry
Bi-polar fun.
Why?

Depressive To Selfless

Please tell me why do I feel like this?
my life is so good, safe, to most it’s bliss 
then why do I sit all day, just weep and cry
thinking that things will be better if I die,

there must be some reason why I feel so blue 
someone to repair my sorrow with happy glue
I see

Premium MemberManic Depressive Yes Me

I am manic
Is that dreadful?
 Or is it amazingly creative 
and freeing?
I am manic
I am me

Depressed. You bet,
Of ourselves I am.
But this side few will ever see.

I will spend my last here-I-Am-days
Building you up
Making you laugh
Helping you feel okay,

Then like Patch Adams and
My wonderful mother-in-law Helen
I will go to the hither and yon.

I will go

Trump Paranoid and Manic Depressive

Trump Paranoid and Manic Depressive

By Trump everyone has been annoyed;
Highly paranoid and we want to avoid;
Disaster like Titanic;
Depressive and manic;
Absence from White House will be enjoyed.

Depressive Which Was Manic

Depressive Which Was Manic

My kind of depression had been manic;
Already considered doing another antic;
Screeching halt,
And my fault;
Broke big button that they labelled panic.

Premium MemberManic Depressive Climates

Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair 
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.

Focal awareness of ego mortality, 
immanent and emanant,
eminent,
turns inward,
returns inward
in despairing response against outward;
the whats and whos of external metaphysical life.

Depression brings tacit fixation on mortality
while advanced notice of

Premium MemberDepressive Canticle

"Inside thy mind hides thine canticle,"
Says the gifted for the chiromanticle.

He read my palms with sturdy eyes,
And said "Boy, there's another in thy mind."

"A voice" he said that "sings you to sleep,
And makes you feel that you must weep.

For the other in you wants you to feel,
Neither joy nor love, of which from you he
