#depression
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.

Not Alone
you haven't slept in weeks
everyone speaks
but no one hears you talking
and you cried
when I
showed you a bit of kindness
you said you'll kill yourself
you'll kill yourself
you'll hurt yourself tonight
feeling shunned away
fom stupid things said
but you are more than your mistakes
you say you hate yourself
you hate yourself
you can't stand the pain
I know it's hard to believe
but there is better days
and there are people who care
the divide gets sickening
we all feel secluded
but...

the chamber spins
a morbid waltz
a bullet's kiss
a final pulse
no chance
no luck
just shadowed fate
a life-sized gamble
sealed by a trigger
high stakes
they say
a world to win
or lose
all it takes
is letting monsters
pull back the hammer
cold hard grime
a deafening silence
life's last breath
tension coils
a frantic heart
a hollow beat
reality's cruel
fleeting thought
held firm
the gun
a weight
a chilling touch
tomorrow's dreams ...

Stubborn Goat
its never
black or white
unless triggers
are pulled
time is gonna come
when bullets fly
then there
will be no doubts
joke's on me
if i'm hit
by an
unplanned ricochet
dont reserve that
grave just yet
this stubborn goat
must love pain
inviting suffering
with open arms
crazy fighter contradicts
suicide attempts
same mistakes
always repeated
sanity betrays
grim reaper every time
black or white
unless triggers
are pulled
time is gonna come
when bullets fly
then there
will be no doubts
joke's on me
if i'm hit
by an
unplanned ricochet
dont reserve that
grave just yet
this stubborn goat
must love pain
inviting suffering
with open arms
crazy fighter contradicts
suicide attempts
same mistakes
always repeated
sanity betrays

Again we pick scabs
pooled wax sits the faint last few flickers of the candle
scented ? or perhaps unscented sorrow
however do you like coffee
steaming hot espresso or iced cold latte?
a train passes by on a frost bitten winters day
the station briefly frozen in time
prompt though the next train
only the passengers know their true destination
years pass by
or was it the changing of winter to spring
back again to pitfalls wandering through glaciers
laying dormant await the...

May as Well be Dead
I can't remember how to smile
So many years of sadness
Piled upon loneliness
I think, a long time ago, some held me in warm arms
But I think it might just have been a fantasy
I hurt inside so hard I can't tell what is in pain
I think it might be my heart but I don't know
I don't remember what my heart felt like
Some distant echoes, a noise like a drum
But it has faded away beneath a sheet of white noise
The pain only goes away when I fall asleep
When i dream of shadows that surround me in screams
Life is only a gift when it feels...

a lucid haze
My bedsheets smell of
lavender and indica
silk pillowcase a cushioned ocean
for my restless mind
that floats through the dark
unseeing and unsleeping
I'm nowhere in particular
if I wait for the dawn I might see it

Pretend There's A Cure
Welcome !!
said the big fat slug
slimy ugly bitch
her trail along
corridor walls and floor
be well....
watch ice cream tubs
bouncing on trampiline covers
a medicated dance
for all to witness
never say
about the voice
or those invisible poems
writings in eyelids
avoid prying eyes
conform worm
wriggle on bait hooks
iet us enjoy the show
we love a struggle
it appeals to our sense of care

Dead
My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

Waterfalls
Just one tiny drop
No bigger
Than a dew drop
Upon a spiders web
Formed in the corner
Of my right eye
It was the birth
Of a tear
More filmy tears followed
Then grew
And grew
And grew
Eventually
Forming into a deluge
Of unstoppable misery
I drowned

Delusional
I know in the deepest trench of my brain
This isn't real.
I know I shouldn't let this delusion run my mind
We are just
In seperate states
States of emotion
States of vaunerability
States of mental back and fourth
You clasp my heart
I hold yours
Keeping it in a lock box bubblewrapped double strapped
Soft to the touch
But hits me in the chest like freight train at full speed .
I don't want to live in reality
Diluted to delusions
This is where I want to stay .
This isn't real.
I know I shouldn't let this delusion run my mind
We are just
In seperate states
States of emotion
States of vaunerability
States of mental back and fourth
You clasp my heart
I hold yours
Keeping it in a lock box bubblewrapped double strapped
Soft to the touch
But hits me in the chest like freight train at full speed .
I don't want to live in reality
Diluted to delusions
This is where I want to stay .
