Depression Poems
#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.

I Am Of the Earth
I am of the earth,
nothing beyond.
Being of the earth
has been quite enough.
I began to exist
as the result of the natural urges
of my mother and father.
I was sperm.
I was egg.
And so, I am me for a time.
One among many on this planet,
inconsequential and forgettable.
But for this night,
I’ll surrender to the fleshly concerns
of this short life.
For this night,
I’ll indulge in the sweet pleasure
of physical touch,
tasting the earth
and sharing in its bounty.
This is only...
nothing beyond.
Being of the earth

Oblivion
I'm already dead,
I've died a long time ago
And I'll continue to wither
With each day that flows.
I'm nothing but an empty husk
Of my former self,
Acting in concordance
With my mind's tales
Of what I was before the dusk.
But even those echoes slowly bleed away
Facing the atrophy of time
And its trail of decay.
It's getting darker...
Soon I'll be just a shadow,
Forgotten and forever chasing...
Running further,
Chasing an inexistent light
In an empty void,
An idea of "what it...
I've died a long time ago
And I'll continue to wither
With each day that flows.
I'm nothing but an empty husk
Of my former self,
Acting in concordance
With my mind's tales
Of what I was before the dusk.
But even those echoes slowly bleed away
Facing the atrophy of time
And its trail of decay.
It's getting darker...
Soon I'll be just a shadow,
Forgotten and forever chasing...
Running further,
Chasing an inexistent light
In an empty void,
An idea of "what it...

ASHES FALLING LIKE SNOWFLAKES
And once
Upon a merry Christmas
A tree adorned at midnight
With lights
Twinkling upon the tinsel
And gifts wrapped in bows beneath
beneath
b e n e a t h
b e n e a t h
Those memories fading from yesteryear
Voices of the departed that I hear
Are you dead or am I a Christmas ghost
Ashes falling like snowflakes with spirits I toast
Each Eve
One ornament is entombed
In a mistletoe graveyard
Decay
The memories in whiskey
Soaked nightmares gifted to me
to me ...
Upon a merry Christmas
A tree adorned at midnight
With lights
Twinkling upon the tinsel
And gifts wrapped in bows beneath
beneath
b e n e a t h
b e n e a t h
Those memories fading from yesteryear
Voices of the departed that I hear
Are you dead or am I a Christmas ghost
Ashes falling like snowflakes with spirits I toast
Each Eve
One ornament is entombed
In a mistletoe graveyard
Decay
The memories in whiskey
Soaked nightmares gifted to me
to me ...

Numb Misery
The drink calls for me
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
Desiring for the anguish to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken
Once to be light and feathery
Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey
"In that dress" said at last ...
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present

The cravings will not cease
Desiring for the anguish to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on

Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?

The Illusion of Medication
This sanctuary is an illusion of internal peace.
Enticing me with hopes of an eternal peace.
This sanctity that I feel eases me temporarily.
Yet I understand that it is merely temporary.
I am sad and alone as I write this,
yet I am free as I write and create.
I vainly hope someday that eternal peace comes.
Yet I understand that will never be.
Psychosis has destroyed me leaving me in ruins.
Yet there is an internal glow that exists.
A heartbeat thunders from within
and I know I am still alive while...
Enticing me with hopes of an eternal peace.
This sanctity that I feel eases me temporarily.
Yet I understand that it is merely temporary.
I am sad and alone as I write this,
yet I am free as I write and create.
I vainly hope someday that eternal peace comes.
Yet I understand that will never be.
Psychosis has destroyed me leaving me in ruins.
Yet there is an internal glow that exists.
A heartbeat thunders from within
and I know I am still alive while...

Positivitly Blind Chasing Ghosts
there’s no
finishing line
up ahead
The road
is never ending
with teeth bared
the hounds are chasing
In the distance
there’s a storm
and a burning bridge
just another obstacle
i find in my way
how do I say
goodbye
to the doubts
hhey have become
old friends
each whisper
has me second guessing
every step
i make towards
a happy ending
so my actions
end up being
worthless
who’s gonna
catch my fall
who thinks
I’m worthy...

What is left
Sometimes I don't know
What keeps me here
What tortures me enough to stay
I can't tell what I am anymore
A roll of flesh
Wanting nothing more than decay
To be consumed by earths hunger
or
A demon devouring itself away?
What keeps me here
What tortures me enough to stay
I can't tell what I am anymore
A roll of flesh
Wanting nothing more than decay

Eight Hours At A Time
I didn't get the chance to dream, to imagine.
To live.
To understand life,
and now at the halfway point
I think before I find out anything.
I will just slowly die.
I can escape living eight hours at a time.
I can escape responsibility eight hours at a time
I can escape anything eight hours at a time
I can run run run.
Until I slowly die
This seems right.
To be numb.
To stop before significance.
Before recognition.
Hiding waiting
The end will come.
Yes, It will come.
Incrementally. ...

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...

Click...
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 ...
