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.

Forget this life.
I'm sorry I thought I could do this I thought that I had this.. against this against my demons but they seem to be winning ever since you left I can't breathe the world around me is crumbling slowly..the air around me is suffocating me what's left in this world if I don't have you?
Nothing this silence is painful painfully killing me..I watched you take your last breath..what's it for me take my last step..? Step to be with you again. You were my world my everything you taught me how to do everything except fight my demons...and theses demons are nothing like I experienced before....
Nothing this silence is painful painfully killing me..I watched you take your last breath..what's it for me take my last step..? Step to be with you again.

The deathly hallow
Day by day my lonely heart begins to wallow.
The loss of the future I planned is hard to swallow.
Destined to die, depression is a deathly hallow.
The loss of the future I planned is hard to swallow.
Destined to die, depression is a deathly hallow.

A Bite Out Of Insanity
Not everything can be fixed. Some things are just jinxed.
This habit is making me cry. Why do i feel the need to die?
I got dizzy from all the stress. My life is now a mess.
My face is blank,but deep inside I'm dead. Nobody ever understood me.
Why can't you just shoot me? i fell for the lies and slipped on the rain.
Now I can feel only pain. I seem okay,but I'm not. I am starting to rot.
You took a fork and ate out of my brain. Now I am going insane.
Was my sanity tasty to you? Is your love really true?
I tried to attend and make...

further explaining, I don't belong here....
I've came to terms that I'm submerged in escapism; hardly invested in this world.... one point or another everyone's been shown that we all hurt and bleed....
limitations more or less in the mind and body,and with "time" proceeds.... only for one day to be deceased .... much apologies for my gloomy....
my overall life choices aren't "healthy"; my heart like a boat afloat filled with water in the middle of the sea; my mind.... drifts/scratches from points A and B while contemplating throughout each week....

This anxiety is like a cheap wine
It's not crippling fear panic induced yet
Or is it?
The washing lays piled up
collecting slug trails and heaven knows
What?
Sunday morning coming down
Found?a clean dirty shirt
This is not a happy place yet there is a friendly familiarity here
Amongst all the emptiness (use your imagination im no going to devote more than a cursory verse)
A half drunk bottle of cider would have made for nouvelle cuisine
Save that it was used the nights prior as an ashtray
What permeates sure isn't death but it sure ain't...

Countdown to a manic interlude
Selling a crooked grin for charitable causes
sit back watch the show
let him go like a wind up spinning top
Neurotic decay leading astray
coffin nails piled in the ashtray
Screaming and laughing with the sirens
Those lassies know all the good songs
prognosis
Carry on bending and breaking him
are you not entertained?
Turn up the pot
let's reach boiling point
Die string pulled marionette man
Die
Die on the end of a stringless rope
Keep raving chicken little the sky falls
...

Forever
ill prepared and
fully-weathered;
i can last perhaps
forever.
as this city devours
me whole, no bones
or trail remains in puddles or
rains, as if
i never existed.
the drum-drum in my head
is a full-on nightmare and i
adore it, warm
hold me.
there is no pain as nerves
disconnect and joints rip, rap
less of me to sait its appetite.
i am home.

this is what my depression looks like
I showered today
for the first time
in a week
because I was tired
of my own body odor
and looking like an
oversized scarecrow
with birds nest hair
It took five minutes
and some swearing
to brush the
baby dreadlocks out
I washed the dishes
vacuumed the floor
and binged watched
at least 3 TV shows
before I was able
to get off the couch
to do even the bare
minimum of self care
and house work
But I also reasoned
it's not your job
to look out for me ...

torment (with Crimsin)
don't give a fuck about me
I am cold to the touch
I cringe when someone reaches for me
I will never let you see me anyway
I don't like being looked at
I was hoping you didn't notice
I was spinning out of control
coming closer to the edge
one, two, three let's jump
my rage cuts
plus I like the pain
so torment belongs to me
in the end you will hate me
I won't take anyone with me
darkness follows where I go
I love you did I forget to tell you
fight the tide that is me
pretend you don't see me ...

in between moments
Today starts like every other day
with a decaf coffee and general anxiety
I hate the butterflies fluttering under my skin
that tell me I’m alive in all the wrong ways
I miss waking up with a smile
without waiting for every moment to end
until I can sleep dreamless sleep
and wake up tomorrow with the spark
of hope that I won’t feel
like I’m living in groundhog day
with less suicide attempts
and piano mastery
I know this path I’ve chosen
is the harder one to walk
it’s uncomfortable to sit
in...

one moment at a time
I live my life
one hour at a time
I can't see beyond that
I lost hope a while back
trapped myself in the labyrinth
in my mind
and I'm still wandering around
trailing blood along the walls
looking for a light
with an exit sign
that says
"Better here is"
Because I want more
than living moment to moment
jumping at the shadow ghosts
that hover in my peripheral vision
but aren't really there
I lived a life beyond
imaginary fears
not that many yesterday's ago
and I'd...
