Made my actions in a longer run to be involuntary!

Premium Member Possibly Right

Absolutely depressing. 
Truly ludicrous and ridiculously.
Can, at the very least. 
Though tragic, right opposition. 
Is similar to a harsh rejection.

“Your poems are all so depressing.
Why don’t you just kill yourself?”
Because respect for the sanctity of life
follows respect for the sanctity of love

To My Abuser

The thought of what you did
to me pierces my heart
crowds my brain
makes me feel worthless
like a nothing
just an object fo you
to use
and abuse
like a doll

Tell Me

Tell me sweet friend, why are you so sad
It's my passion in life to make you feel glad
This sadness you carry is depressing to see
So cheer yourself up and be happy like me

Opposites

The emptiness can be suffocating.
The happiness can be depressing.
The victory can be defeating.
The longing can be fulfilling.
You ask me if life is ironic?
Is it ever.

cheerless, depressing day,
consistent with rain and

'Twas a horrible thing called the blight,
diseased potatoes a depressing sight,
starvation begone,
crossed over the pond,
arrived Ellis Island future looks bright.

As well as why all these memories trespass my every feeling.

Anything but junk!

Left To Fry

I was left to fry,
Left to try,
And left to die alone.

All in a hope,
That I was unimportant and unsuspecting.
Yet I can see through the black cloak of blame and lies.
I will not be left to fry.

Premium Member Praying For a Brighter Future For All

I'm going to stop writing for a while
Until events can bring a smile
I feel my thoughts are too depressing
My poetry is transgressing
I need to have some personal space
To put a smile back on my face

Depressing hillside 
and East solid eagle flies
 and the perfect skies

while sitting on  crest 
nurturing the nest baby

Not Supposed To Share

Not Supposed To Share

What does seem so sad about despair,
Can be found and discovered anywhere;
Did become depressing;
Dressing or undressing;
Should be selfish and not start to  share.

Darkness

Oblivion in the newness of nothingness 
tormenting, depressing yet peaceful 
       Hello Darkness my new friend 
Ravished by it’s black aura, I want to be            
             Alone in this Darkness

Memory Lane

A friend of mine and I 
were cruising around 
the backroads behind his 
house, burning seedy chemicals 
and breathing in their  
sweet clouds of mystery. 
  
'You know what's 
depressing?' he 
asked. 
  
'Life.'
