Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

my brain is like a broken carnival ride
I told myself I'd stop writing angsty shit
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
Another day, another mental wall
and I'm stuck staring at the
nothingness I feel
without any solutions
on how to get around it
over it or under it
I need more than this
barren horizon of emptiness
that promises something
but delivers nothing
I told myself I'd stop writing angsty shit
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
but here I am again
breaking promises...
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
Another day, another mental wall
and I'm stuck staring at the
nothingness I feel
without any solutions
on how to get around it
over it or under it
I need more than this
barren horizon of emptiness
that promises something
but delivers nothing
I told myself I'd stop writing angsty shit
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
but here I am again
breaking promises...

Hand Of Sorrow
Verse 1]
Regression to submission
Reversion to illusion
I am lost in this confusion
No stranger to exclusion
Suffer agony infusion
The end of me in view
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Misery weaved into me
Curse of mind for all to see
[Chorus 1]
Hand of sorrow, reach in me
Grasp my heart, set me free
Pull it out with no remorse
Broken by unnatural force
Shatter what's whole
Rip out the soul
[Verse 2]
Aggression to confession
Drown in my obsession
Cannot kill my burden
Inner wounds not...

Weakness
Shining
Is the blade
Before me.
Glistening
For yours truly
So brightly.
Craving
The blood
It seeks.
Personifying
Oh so lustrous
Sweet melodies.
Suggesting
The freedom
From within.
Resisting
The temptations
I will not give in
Is the blade
Before me.
Glistening
For yours truly
So brightly.
Craving
The blood
It seeks.
Personifying
Oh so lustrous
Sweet melodies.
Suggesting
The freedom
From within.
Resisting
The temptations
I will not give in

dear death
Take me home, I beg of thee.
Take my hand, and set me free.
Dear death, please hear my plea
Release me from this misery.
Take my hand, and set me free.
Dear death, please hear my plea
Release me from this misery.

The Flowers
I've known 1,000 crooks
read 10,000 books
still like my whiskey with sour
took 500 aims
at my 5,000,000 blames
as I sit all alone at the fire
my hands are now cold
but my heart is still bold
waiting on some newfound desire
if I don't think quick
i just might miss
my opportunity to fuck up the flowers
it's been 700 months
i met 31 monks
not one of them had a thing to say
i poured 20,000 baths
to clean...

I'm going through
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ FOR what I want to talk about what makes some folks think, which makes no sense when some people's think what your going through in your own life. Really isn't what you're going through 🤔 yet to tell you that you are not going through what you say what you have in your own life. 😧 Let me remind you that you ain't me and I'm not you, 😔 going through the process of the stages that I have to face on a daily basis of life. For you tell me that you don't believe that I have cancer but yet I do, from prostate...

Why Does She Stay With Me?
Possessing a diagnosis that makes you feel like you’re living on the dark side of the moon. Psychosis! Why does she stay with me?
Possessing this thunder in your heart with the hope that one day you’ll wake up and it’ll just be a bad dream. No! It’s permanent, so, I beg the question again, why does she stay with me?
I look at her with love. Love of something so much better than me. She sees me, yet, not the disorder which plagues me. Why, why does she stay with me?
She looks at me with love. Love of something she holds so dear. And I see her, yet, notice nothing...

Step into someone else's shoes
It's true that through this life we all may someday, have to go through somethings, that happens unexpected in your own life. 🤔 That will you have you feeling like your back is up against the wall. 🧱 For it's life that will throw you a curve ball, and leaving behind the devastation of things to come, into our lives. For no matter what the situation will be whether it concerns, your health or your well being with the insanity of not knowing why is the happening to me. 😔 For it might be your fault for it can be hereditary like cancer, or some type of mental disorders...

War with myself
I face my fears everyday
Creeping through crevices
Of my sacred guarded tower
Subduing me like a hypnotist
Appearing from the dark
With their forbidden enticements
I try looking away
So not to fall for their enchantments
Sneaking inside, they secretly surround
Tempting and twisting my thoughts
Into thinking that
They were everything I sought
I try to run, but there is no escape
I try to scream, but there is no help
Such is my fate
When I'm at war with myself
Creeping through crevices
Of my sacred guarded tower
Subduing me like a hypnotist
Appearing from the dark
With their forbidden enticements
I try looking away
So not to fall for their enchantments
Sneaking inside, they secretly surround
Tempting and twisting my thoughts
Into thinking that
They were everything I sought
I try to run, but there is no escape
I try to scream, but there is no help
Such is my fate
When I'm at war with myself

Days into nights
Doubt fills my head
Eating me from the inside
Shadows absorbing the light
Turning days into nights
I think back to long ago
When happiness roamed
Through my thoughts
Now, it's gone
I lay in bed quietly covered
Like a corpse at a crime scene
Ignore and turn away
All my family and friends
When will this suffering stop
When will this war end
When will grace lead me
Beside still waters to drink
Eating me from the inside
Shadows absorbing the light
Turning days into nights
I think back to long ago
When happiness roamed
Through my thoughts
Now, it's gone
I lay in bed quietly covered
Like a corpse at a crime scene
Ignore and turn away
All my family and friends
When will this suffering stop
When will this war end
When will grace lead me
Beside still waters to drink

Life
It all seems so simple
Yet I try and fail
I just want to take pleasure
In life's daily struggles and triumphs
Without searching for
A crutch to help me hobble along
I want to laugh and cry
Instead of fazing out
In an emotionless stupor
Hold my boys and know
They want always be boys
Get lost in the gaze
Of my beautiful wife's eyes
And realize how blessed I am
I want to grow old
And see my boys turn into men
While holding my wife's hand
Thinking of how we made it
...
Yet I try and fail
I just want to take pleasure

Hold my boys and know

Get lost in the gaze

Phallus Aforethought
Am I the only one who thinks it odd
that in all the annals of creation
there was once some strange craftsmanship from god
of darts incarnate by blood elation
and that love depends on circulation
of cocktail ingredients from parts...
in... genitourinary station...
subservient to all pulse pounding hearts
ever to find themselves a slave to love
and by such a bond seek the pleasure
thricely as thrilling as some god above
all of the other loves that we treasure...
and thus the links twixt love and...
