Manic Depression Poems - Poems about Manic Depression

Sleep escaped, Without a farewell, She had not the grace To aspire my light, She proved to be darker Than her gaze, Glaring, glowering, Glowing with madness, Bipolar’s destroyer – two sides of the coin Despair, dread, doubt – depression Delight, elation, wired – manic Stages of dark and light, Day and night, A breath, a prayer, a silence Flooded with fire – Cold, brilliant desire…. Where she kindles a flame, A...

She met two dudes...

There are days I don’t want to feel, There are days I want to destroy all I’ve healed.

There are highs and lows, The...

“Fear whispers worry into your ear, anxiety into your hopes and doubt into your faith… Love whispers hope and peace” – by poet With a brain washed pale By voices thundering Silent screams echoing through me Clearing away the debris Of disappointment and disillusionment My mind darkened on a clear night No stars twinkled through my thoughts And the blaze of my heart Was...

For You - The Lady I loved What an angel you are Cute, beautiful and a star I listen and I hear you, but you’re no longer here You are a superstar, that used to sing in my ear I wish I could have been there with you in your head Or found the words that we should have said To...

Two sides Double life In her head, how can she decide. The happiness of the day, The mournfulness of the night. With the sun she rises like lilies in spring time, Until the sunset, death steals away her joy, Bringing nothing but the pain she endured throughout Her short life. It devours her soul. She cries for help, trying to explain. The so called...

Manic-Depression An illness that consumes me Speaking endless lies to me Misconstruing the world for me Refusing to set me free Binding me to self destructive tendencies Cheating me of what life could be Supressing the love within me Strengthening the anger buried inside of me Distorting the truth right before me Making me too blind to see...

Tonight is ending. As my breath slows. My final demise. The final low blow. Learn from the broken. See all that's real. Tonight is your heart ache. Tomorrow to feel. My time to prove what hate does. My time to show the world how to love. This is my purpose. This is my choice. My...

Mum and Dad I had strange feelings of being bad, feelings that brought me down crashing to the ground. I had self doubt gave into fear, I let dread run away with my head. At that time my mind was broken my thoughts went haywire. Something else had my control and was provoking fear dread and nonsense. Everything going on was such a mess. I had a...
