Depression Poems
The Depression Poems page was inspired by Margaret Parker, of VA. Something we talked about during a session prompted her to share it with me. When I heard her poem, I immediately wanted it on the site. It is a phenomenal poem that captures exactly what so many of us experience.
Truly, so much of our lives are filtered through the hurts and unmet needs of painful childhoods. Sessions are the best way that I know of for healing. With healing, who we are fundamentally changes and the world changes in response.
We are all so connected. Your healing radiates into the world we all share. Perhaps you have a poem inside you - perhaps sharing our depression poems helps us know we are not alone.
Please submit only poems you have written. I'm not sure we can add the works of other authors, due to copyright laws.
THE SKY IS FALLING (by Margaret Parker)
The sky is falling and I am calling for help. I can't say what's wrong I've felt this way for so long. It is something I just do waiting for the other shoe to drop and chop my world in two. I try to stop but the child is wild with panic and fear and although I hold the dear inner child tight there is always a fight because she believes she's right. No one has ever said it's ok to go to bed the monster won't get you with me you are safe I'll protect you.

This was written in 2007 by a woman struggling in a new marriage. Her marriage is now (2010) a "happy ever after" story! She succeeded in letting someone in and overcame a lot of trust issues in the process.SUSPENDED Suspended in time I wake to surviveThrough many tears and sleepless nights.Screaming inside till it hurts just to breath. But you can not hear, I am buried so deep. Taking you back, just one more time.Fighting to keep what I once thought was mine.Caught in the dark I look for the lightWinning the war but losing the fight. So many years lost in the darkNo sense of life, not even a spark.No ray of hope - I am so far awayWondering how much longer I will stay. In the midst of the pain and blackness I callBut nobody is there and again I fall.I finally know that I am my best friendI am not alone after all in the end. Living for you is so hard, you seeI have always fought so hard to be me.I will not lose myself just to please youForever I am lost if that is what I do. Up from the dust I start anewAlone in this world, nothing is new.Then I find out that you are still hereIn spite of my doubt, in spite of your fear. Letting you in is the hardest to doWondering again if you will ever be true.I do need you now - but again I seeI want my space and need to be free. I will try once more to give you my heartOnly to see if you will tear it apart.I will give you a chance and see what you do...Suspended in time waiting on you. You think I am here but I am so far awayI am almost gone but yet still I stay.What will it take to get through to me?...Suspended in time waiting to see. Lee Y, 2007, TN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
