Depression Poems

“Depression is nourished by a lifetime of ungrieved and unforgiven hurts.” Is a depression quote that sings so true. Like depression poems, we have our favorite songs or literature that we read or listen to overcome our depression. The daily stressors of life are overwhelming for everyone at times. Depression poetry can be the inspiration needed to move forward when all other resources have been exasperated. Writing your way out of depression often times is the antidote to allowing it to take over your life. Depression poems are an avenue for one to freely express what their emotions have long been wanting to express from their soul.

No one knows how I suffer
No one knows how it feels
No one knows of the anguish
And how much of my life it steals

No one really notices me
No one gives a damn
They don’t see this sadness inside of me
Or how depressed I am

They say there’s relief if I pray
They save there’s peace with the Lord
They don’t know how I’m feeling
And how I’d rather fall on my sword

Why do I walk around here
Pretending I’m something I’m not
With all these demons inside me
My mind is starting to rot

Then I hear the word of grace
This sets my spirit three
How the Lord the giver of live
Laid down His life for me

_________________________________________________________________

Sadness overcomes me
And depression starts to win
No one knows the torture
Or the anguish I am in

Trying to get by each day
Not knowing how to start
Depression has its hooks in me
In my head and in my heart

But I know that this won’t last
I guess I’ll just have to try
No matter how painful it is
I know that I’ll get by

_________________________________________________________________

The long it lasts the more I succumb
The painful feelings inside
Shutting away the dark memories
From which I try to hide

But on and on it last and lasts
I know my heart must cry
I don’t think I can survive
It feels like I must die

_________________________________________________________________

The how deep is deep
How much further can I go
All around me it’s so dark
Where I am I don’t know

I know that you call me
I listen for you all voice
But all I can hear is
Background noise

Soothe me soothe me
Just bring me some peace
Please Lord save me
I beg of you please

_________________________________________________________________

What can I say
To someone who’s down
All I can say is friend
You know I’ll be round

I know how you will feeling
And I’m thinking of you
Depression’s no stranger
Cause I’ve been there too

Someone once told me
That faith is the key
Trust in the lord
And he will set you free

Depression Poems

You can’t bear to hear it
So I won’t say it to you
Lift up your head, keep living
Is the statement you roux

Why can’t they understand you
The problem’s so plain
When they see sunshine
All you see is rain

But strengthen your heart
For all is not lost
I’ll stick by you
Whatever the cost.
