Depression is gradual pain
A profit no gain.

I have depression
I have anxiety
You can’t understand

We’ll defeat this enemy
We’ll soar like eagles

A room full of need.
Fragments of humanity.
Damaged, seeking, souls,
Looking into the abyss,
Needing help to conquer this.

Encased in numb, icy form.

No trips and no vacation plans,
In depression days when I was young.
Summer was Mama's lemonade,
Spreading pleasure to my tongue.

The sunlight, it hids from me the clouds dark that trails before me and there is no way
to emerge from the blind spot that causes me to struggle...

Artificial means of controlling my own depression
For all of these old feelings I've contained through suppression.
Sadly never forgetting how others left such an impression.

Depression may always reside here in my head.
But within my own imagination I am already dead.
No one can make me feel absolutely better
For I stay subdued with how I cannot get my act together.

I don’t know
How to go on
Caught in the depths
Of depression
Its alcohol
Plaguing me still
But it’s a far cry
From where I was
And who I used to be
And now it’s let’s
Let the blessings be

A tiny doorway
of the forehead is the anxiety and depression
of a woman writer and bishop.
One day this doorway fell
to touch the mouth
of the woman.
It relieve the woman
from care and suffering.

Strange sardonic shadow stands and stares,
but when I turn and look their spent force
Spirited less and scraggly I have become set. Hallucinations or are they real?

thoughts get tangled
confusion
angst eating me up
i'm so dark
afraid
why am i here
mom told me i was a mistake
depression
denial
you can't accept me
why
i'm so full of sadness
someone understand me
i'm lost within

The White House is on a great lot
It's Washington's drive to it spot
But guards only train
That terror's to contain
So mentally ill there get shot
Author's note: The new treatment for postpartum depression is now a firing squad.

Shame and fear of ridicule; chief contributing factors
for shrouded public awareness about depression, by bravely...
addressing it openly, we remove its stigma.

Bio

I want to escape to a place that doesn't exist.
A familiar place where nostalgia takes me away to a peaceful bliss.
I do not know where this place is.
Maybe it coexist in my mind, right in between the depression and the borderline.

Demons whispers
Eroding sanity
Persistently questioning
Relations history
Ever present
Silently absorbing
Suffering alone
Idyllic fantasy
Oppressing reality
None can
Know misery
I feel
Laughter masks
Losers surprise
Sorry end

All the best from the West
Working, partying and no rest
Money, materials and the jest
All the best from the West
Loneliness , depression and the nest
Victims, tears and the test
Rights, abuse and the vest
All the best from the West

Depression is a great white shark
who navigates the green sea of my emotions
ravaging parts of my aching heart
with his teeth absorbed in bitterness and loneliness
leaving behind shipwrecks of life struggles
and broken relationships in his wake

Little about me...
Severe depression, Anxiety not to mention PTSD
Recently diagnosed, unmedicated
At times I feel obliterated
Though I hope to cope and not to croak...
Basically to provoke
Longevity with no strife for
This a beautiful life...
Indeed.

Hot mess,
Bipolar express.
Welcome to my hypomanic hell,
Depression so intense
It feels like a spell.
Mania,
The broken wheel on your shopping cart
That makes you really good at art.
Depression,
The isolation station
That it kills your imagination.

I have to remind myself
Not to stay in the depression
I have to move my way out
I’m no longer a youth full of whatever-the-cost
I’m older reserved and dammit I don’t need no ten dollar an hour job
I’ve got time to make the resume right and get the job I need
