21. Depression Is Never Ending
Depression is here every day,
And it never goes away.
Go away! I yell into the dark,
As if someone is there.
Depression is here every day,
And it never goes away.
Go away! I yell into the dark,
As if someone is there.
Ok love, look. I know how it feels when you're so young but you only feel like ending it. I've been there, and I wanna tell you something, and it's the most cliche thing to say. Get help, and...

Poet Introduction
This traffic light inside my head
Is always green and never red.
My thoughts, my dreams, and all my fears,
They all speed past my listening ears.
Blessings to you all, I can't say what brought me to this site other than the Holy Spirit. And it allowed me to pause for quite some time reading all of the poems and feedback posted. I know...

Until it affects someone we love,
We don't even know it's there.
It's really not our problem,
So why should we care.
As I read this poem, I hurt with you. I feel the pain and still do that you do and could only imagine what your mother must of be going through to help you deal with it and trying to...
The hurt in my eyes is all that has to be said
Sometimes I know I'm better off dead
The pain is the only thing I can feel
Knowing it's the one thing that's real
This is so deep. I felt this in another level. I have the same exact feelings sometimes.
Poet Introduction
In our darkest nights and our brightest days,
emotions fill us like tidal waves.
They can drag us down and pull us in,
I suppose it's hard for some to understand.
This is not the way that I had planned.
I don't know how I've let myself get this way,
And sometimes feel like calling it a day.
This is a really good little fun sized poem the puts the darkness of the topic into a slightly lighter-hearted, almost depressingly whimsical feel. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Poet Introduction
When I look at myself, I see nothing good.
I see all the flaws that no one else should.
I wear a mask
To hide the pain
Hello Miriam, how are you doing? I hope everything is great. I'm 17 years old, a teenager just like you, and I can feel your poem because I experienced the self-hatred you are talking about...
Life is a bitter sweet pill
I am forced to take against my will
Everyone trying to pull me
Back into so called reality
Life is fickle. So are we. All I could say is never lose hope, dear.
Poet Introduction
I got this feeling deep inside,
Not sadness or hatred, not even pride,
A blank spot on a map,
Where something used to be,
You are special. Yes, there always is someone to help you, but you are special. You are one who cannot be replaced. I may not know you, but I know when people feel unhappy or on the very last...
Poet Introduction
What do you see when you look in my eyes?
A freak? A nameless being?
Or maybe simply another face in the endless sea of people
What do I see when I look at myself in the mirror?
I've been suffering with depression for a while now. I truly don't know how long as I truly can't remember a starting point for it. People would never guess. Never. I am 14, have a good...
Poet Introduction
A silent shadow
stalking me in the night.
The doors are open
but I cannot see the light.
She may seem alive
But she's dead inside.
How can one live
When the important things died?
This hit me hard. This is exactly what I felt every day. Without my "friends" I had nothing to think about. I felt numb. With them I can't think about what's happening inside my head.
I feel the tears fall as I lay here and cry.
Nobody knows that all my happiness is a lie.
You see, I can't really smile; I haven't in a while.
Glance, but don't stare.
You're not supposed to see the scars that I bear.
Don't listen, just speak.
Great couplets on the theme of depression and the rhymes are nicely done and for many this poem will be relatable so I'm sure your poem will connect with many readers. Thanks for sharing Ashley.
Poet Introduction
My head is not right today.
I have no idea why it's this way.
It switches from one thought to another.
Poet Introduction
Emotions.
Do you feel them?
She was numb and frozen,
Yet it dimly sparkled like a dying gem.
When you feel empty and hollow, I feel like it's easy to feel alone. This poem helped me realize that I am not alone and that there are other people out there who struggle to feel again, who...
I am gone.
I'm so far gone you wouldn't even know.
So far gone I won't even show.
I'm so far gone and there's no way out.
Poet Introduction
It's hard to explain those
demons inside,
the daily struggle,
the daily ride.
This poem really catches something in me. I'm 17 and have struggled with depression since I was around 12. Diagnosed when I was 15 and hospitalized twice for trying to end my life. Depression...
