Depression Poems: When I am down I look to Her not you....
by anonymous

When i am down i look to Her not you.
I look to Her who gave me love, kind words, had God in her heart and always had a smile and hugs for anyone that crossed her path. She welcomed the hungry, the tired, the lonely and always laid out her helping hand. Who got up at the dawn of day, taking care of everyone, with God on her lips and God in her heart.
When i am down and it's s so easy to be like you...
to be mean, never have a smile, always be selfish, always bothered, always blaming the world, always bitter, always abusive, hitting and pushing so easily came to you. Blamed us for being born, for being in the way, for even wanting to please you.
When its so easy to be like you, I choose to be like Her not you.
Now you're old and you want to change. For her i forgive you, that's what she would do. But your debt is not on this earth but rather on your judgement day.
When you are asked why you took the easier way to do things, hurting others.
You will be asked why didn't you choose to be more like Her than you.

Depression Poems - MY INNER CHILD (1991)
by margaret parker
(virginia)
Depression Poems
My inner child
was never young.
She was always so busy
taking care of things
or pretending that
getting hurt didn't matter
or that feeling lonely
wasn't so bad.
My child looked in the mirror
and she saw guilt and ugliness.
She didn't recognize anger,
she felt no love'
and wasted no energy on laughter.
She sat passively
waiting to be noticed,
wanting to be cared for
never looking needy
wanting desperately to be held.
I can only imagine
the tragic horrors
that my child witnessed.
Did the abuse become so routine
that it didn't matter anymore?
Did my child run away
leaving her emotions behind?
I can't seem to digest
my tortured past.
I"ve found the place
where in my heart
I'v found the girl that remembers
but she's so frightened
so shamed
that she doesn't want to share her secrets.
I am finally ready to be her true friend.

Reality
by Anonymous
Johny and Marisa sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G,
first comes love then comes marriage,
then comes an abrupt tragic miscarriage.
Then comes blame then comes dispair,
two hearts broken beyond repair.
Johny leaves Marisa and takes the tree,
D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Depression Poems - DID I CHOOSE
by Margaret Parker
(virginia)
Depression Poems
Did I choose this life
with all this strife?
Did I choose to burrow
and hide my sorrow?
Did I choose the parents I had
knowing they were going to be bad?
Would I choose it all again
I feel like I have failed and sinned.
Could I have changed any of this
with just maybe one wish;
or could I have screamed "help me"
can't you see
I am being abused,
for sex I am used.
Good parents they are not,
everyday they fought.
Could they have been shot
for not wanting me?
Everything is haunting me.
I wasted half my life
rummaging thru this strife.
I worked on being whole
and taking back what they stole.
I wound up forgiving with my heart
which I should have done from the start.
It took so long
to work thru what was wrong.
I made it thru
and now I can do
what I'v always wanted to.
I can be free
to live with me.
just like I am.(2007)

Depression Poems - Don't Leave
by dawnclacher
(texas)
When I was a little girl, I was scared to be the last one asleep. I wanted the comfort of a light, an open door to sleep with. As long as I can remember, anyone that I ever met, I loved, and eventually lost. My world was made up of nothing but that person. All of my thoughts were consumed of that one person who just meant the world to me. I depended on him/her to take care of me, love me and always be with me. Like an addiction, they had to be there all the time-my happiness depended on it. They always left. I wasn't happy unless they were there. Ironically, I was still insecure in their presence. I guess I felt as though I needed them to survive-I often wonder if I wasn't somehow mentally or physically abandoned as a child. I share this so that maybe I will one day discover how to live on my own; without the dysfunction of a relationship who leaves anyways. Be happy.

UNDER MY EYES
by Alexandra
Under my eyes
Dark circles and lines;
They are inexplainable.
My friends occasionally ask me
If I've slept last night,
If I've slept at all.
Turning away from the light
I answer,
Of course I've slept last night:
I sleep every night.
I love to close my eyes at night.
The dark circles and lines
Are not there
Because I'm sleep-deprived;
They are there because I've cried
So many times in the past
That they have left
Permanent marks
Under my eyes.
My tears may be gone,
But the marks are there to stay
For the rest of my days.

Deja Vu
by Anonymous
Under the sun judging eyes crowd the mind,
but under the night sky these eyes are blind.
Ignorance inside the people is the enemy,
allied with an immature community.
To be different is to be prey,
all morale's they disobey.
Being alone in a world full of people,
a moments smile couldn't be more deceitful.
Years of memories turned into despair,
malice from a heart that seems only bare.
They constantly torture others for fun,
until the moment when all restraints are undone.
Bloodshed, tears and death is revealed,
the only way the public seems to learn how others feel.
The virus of depression spreads once again,
as it shall forever until ignorance is at an end.
