Mental Health Poems | Examples of Mental Health Poetry

During my time on our blue-green sphere, I sometimes feel turmoil, living here. I've found ideas I can release to ease my mind and give it peace. I do not need to have lots of things. Pleasure is found in what nature brings. I don't need to prove myself to my brothers. If I'm okay with me, I can forget the others. If...

Staying up late, humming to frank ocean Seigfried while imagine the city's lights Sitting on the edge underneath a river Admitting i'm not brave Thanks frank, I have to confront Thanks frank, all said is done what do you recommend I do? Sit outside and forget my pride? I am a fool, but going to keep my cool One day I will...

Seven faces she wore at different times. She knew not when each face’s expression might appear (some rarely; some oftentimes, giving to others a different impression.) Horrific abuse caused her mind to split when she was young. Her main self took back seat when stressed, but she was not aware of it. Always she was feeling so incomplete. Her main personality would just...

River is running to meet sea, mountain for touching sky, bee for taking honey Birds are flying high. snail on the leave of tomatoes sucking flower glaring butter fly, numberless cricket coming far off burning and one by one die. green fields full of crops, canal dancing near by, jumping monkeys in the water paddy fields, hovering on dragonfly, melodious songs of shepherded, bleating of sheep grazing nearby, burning...

Woman is a hole, Soft with spongey walls, Press the button, make her howl, Crash through her virgin halls. A newborn baby, little girl, Fresh kitchen rag to store, Waiting ignorant of the day, When she too will be soiled. Decades later, kitchen rags, Sit discarded in a bin, A loony bin for hags to talk, And squeeze out salty drips. Streaming semen pulling...

I woke with blood in my mouth and no memory of the scab that sealed the rasure. I’m cat-spitting dog-growling peregrine-divebombing rooster-flogging badger-flipping hornet-stinging wolverine-ripping mad. I fired the sun for showing up late cursed the fridge light until yogurt soured in terror. God called I let it ring twice. The therapist said breathe so I swallowed my tongue now I speak in the language of things with canines. coyote-howl syntax vulture-vowel decay the guttural grammar of...

Guess who just had a baby Then hearing about another death of a celebrity Say hello to a group of friends But look down and see I’m mute again So Put in my password and username But everyone logs into a different game What? Am I the shadow? Just An upvote, a like? Part of a brand? Yes, please let...

Like a dust that has been blown away If I only had the chance to really say But I can only stand on the dock of a bay Within this soul there is a empty world inside With no one near or anybody far Not even a single wound or a mere scar No love, hate or pride Just a place where...

Twisted and taunted, I stood in the wintry path where sparkling silver slivers of mercury searched for their brethren to merge as one. Colder than my path, a clammy cold from the nitrous night, crept through as winter winds coming from the chill of the grave, and blasted me with icy shards, scraping at my bones and freezing my soul. Its harshness racked me as...

A boy walks slow through halls of glass, His shadow flickers, thin as grass. Each step a secret, each breath a theft, Of hunger’s war and weightless heft. They whisper when they think he’s gone, “Is he okay? He looks withdrawn.” But laughter fades when backs are turned, And eyes like his are never learned. His plate remains a battlefield— Each bite a blade,...

The voice in my head is a voice almost silent, it gets louder when i sleep, louder when i wake and i can’t make it stop. This voice is the voice that takes over when i need to act, i act irrational, i act against everything i think but this voice is always there in...

Began chatting, then as talking. Talking, to safe haven. Safe haven, to unfolding the dark tucked away. Unfolding, to sharing years of distant memories. Sharing, to unloading your internal warehouse. Unloading, to tears flowing. Tears flowing, words stinging. Words stinging, airway burning. Relief, haunting at bay for...
