Depression Poems - I Will Perfect You, So Listen To Me
by Caitlyn,15
(Canada)
Take me as your mother,
I will guide you along.
So with your own kind, you may belong.
Believe in me, and hear me out.
Please, in me you shall have no doubts.
I will make you perfect, because without me you are not.
You will never eat, and you will never get caught.
Your body may cry,
But you will never listen.
It wants something bad,
But from that you have been forbidden.
Now you drift into this weary state.
Now you've met me.
Hi, I'm Fate.
I will take your life, like you took yours.
You had choices you chose to ignore.
You wouldn't eat and that's the verdict.
But what does it matter?
You died perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, Caitlin. So wise, so young, so much wisdom yet to come.

Depression Poems - Roller Coaster Ride
by Alecia
Erected walls surround me,
Darkness seems to conquer
When fears come alive,
Color seems to fade in everything I see,
Yellow of the sunshine
Blue of the Skies
They blur to a gray and bleak shadow
That seem to overwhelm me,
The rollercoaster ride, it's about to crash
There are more downs then ups,
Spiralling downward, It makes me sick
But there is not a remedy in sight,
Inside my brain, it just clicks
I've been here, other then tonight
I can feel myself slipping,
I know whats to come
Remorse and guilt weaved together
-Is an incredible sum
The lights go out, I can feel them tugging at my sleave,
Why won't they listen?
No one seems to care nor believe
I'm trapped in a dark, empty pit
It's inescapeable, Desolation is drowning me
But I'm here to dwell for I can't leave
My mind is a prison, and No one can hear me scream
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you! This is beautiful and so well done.
(My kingdom for a bit of caring, eh?)

a note from a victim
by madaline short
(USA)
Everyone sees me in this upsetting light, everyone sees this light growing dimmer and dimmer as people keep making fun of me. but yet they dont try to help. they have their eyes, and they see me, they have ears, they hear it..all the lies and the jokes, but they wont believe me. im wearing a mask to give me a disguise , it starts and last all day..why wont it just go away? all these laughters, and comments. i try to say their is no pain, i try to be strong for the ones i need to be an example of. who are you to pick my soul apart? i wonder if you realize that you and me are just the same, making me cry is worse then suicide. i remember when i loved school, i remember always going and being upset when i got sick because i missed a day. but that all changed in highschool. everyone says im too ugly, too fat, or my hair is ugly. well in my eyes i am , but i am more then just that. you dont even understand the stuff ive beeen though. everyday im suffering, because of what you all say to me , this time your not the victim, its me. this is my life and ive realized , i did no harm. but dont worry about me, im just some girl that has people who have ruined her life. they dont even take the blame they just live knowing they are hurting a innocent person. they put me through all this torture that i dont deserve.
story: i get bullied alot...and its time to speak up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YES! It is Always Time to Speak Up. Thank you!

Depression Poems - FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
by Henre Murr
(Seattle, WA USA)
Tiles pressing coldly into my back, gazing into the black, I cry
warm tears for all the wasted years of my life.
Overdose?
Slice my wrists?
Releasing my life’s blood upon the ground?
Drown?
Maybe a car wreck?
What the heck, just park the car in the garage and leave the
engine on?
I have no favorite song, to accompany me on this final journey
home.
I am insignificant! Just another pound of flesh craving scraps of
life and love undeserving.
No fame or fortune, absent a big legacy to leave behind. No
family, I’m just F.I.N.E.
Insight into the truth, nobody cares! Nothing will be missed
when I'm not there.
Anxious uncertainty lies ahead my soul is asking why I prefer to
be dead.
My brief moment of crying fades into a new altering illusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok Henre, you've got me hanging.
What if you can't die? you just leave the body and then feel pretty damn sheepish. Sheepish... funny idea.
But you have every right to find out for yourself.
And Henre, dear, Have you tried giving and being so much love that the world would indeed mourn your absence?
Wouldn't you at least like to TRY being and giving love instead of trying to absorb it like a black hole?
Thanks for writing. I hope you are here to read this!
with love to you and your increasing wisdom

Depression Poems - A Face Always Smiling
by Paul K
(Cork, Ireland)
Oh God, how do I cope
With this life I’ve been dealt
For as long as I remember
This despair, I have felt
These feelings that come
From deep in my heart
From the people I love
It keeps me a part
In your own home town
But nobody knows you
Surround by love
That nobody shows you
Know every crack on the pavement
Had my head down too long
Tears that I shed
From hearing the wrong song
Friends and family are there
To stop you feeling blue
Keep smiling they say
But not so easy to do
Put on your best face
To make them feel good
Got to keep smiling
Because you know that you should
From deep inside
The pain rips me apart
But how can you fix
A non-existent heart
You keep it well hide
From the people you know
The smile on your face
Is the face that you show
The pain that I have
That just can’t be mended
The life that you live
You wish sometimes ended
Friends and family don’t know
The hidden pressure that’s piling
For you can’t tell the suffering
On a face always smiling….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you so much, Paul May you be well.
with love

A Visitor
by Amtheyst

darkness knocks
pain opens the door
bringing numbing pleasure
once, an invisible presence
now shines in the glory of darkness
perfect acceptance
above the rules
freedom

Depression Poems - I Can't Quite Say
by Caitlyn
(Canada)
She tells me it will be okay,
Do I believe her?
I can't quite say.
I've had these thoughts,
Not of death,
But of having no feeling at all.
Is there such a place?
Between life and death?
You tell me, I haven't been there yet.
I want to smile, I really do.
But something seems to pull me back.
I feel no need, why smile,
When no ones watching me?
I once felt happiness,
When it was,
I can't quite say.
But my heart pounds and beats for the feeling of the day,
That I can't seem to find.
Like I'm lost,
All alone,
In a place that I can't call my own.
Help tries to come to this terrible place,
This dark and empty confined space.
I push it away,
I ask myself feeling great dismay,
"Is this the end?"
I can't quite say.
All I want is for the clouds to be gone,
The sun to shine through,
And the birds to sing on.
I can't find that place, not yet at least.
But I know someday I'll be asking myself,
"Do you remember when you couldn't smile?"
Well, I can't quite say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bravo~! Well said. And you will, you will~!
lots of love

Fading away
by Michelle Lockwood
(California, Fontana)
As you shatter me with your words
The words I've always heard,
As you blind me with your lies
The lies you always hide.
I see the worth, you thrive
Things you see, you like
You never could look to me and see
The thing you've always said to dream
but I am nothing more than nothing
Said the woman So unloving
years of mending
never ending
pain blossoms like a butterfly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you, Michelle.

Depression Poems - See
by Chelsea Gray
(Alexandria, VA, united states)
If you could see my pain
Would you treat me the same
Would you put me down all the time
If you could see how much I cry
Would you hurt me so much
If you saw all my cuts
Would you take back what you've done to me
If you saw the real me
Would you change your ways
If you felt all my pain
Would you apologize if you knew
How much I wanted to die
If you saw my open wounds dripping with blood
Would you change some
If you looked through my eyes
Would you want me not to cry
If we switched places
You would truly see
How hard it is to be me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beautiful. Thank you.
