poems about depression/self harm

Post Reply New Topic

poems and art are my only outlet for how i feel. these are the ones i have written in my darkest of times
here are three of them:

Title: here for one moment
the sun shines through even the darkest of weather
everything seams like it will last forever.
What such an exciting endeavor?

The days seam so great
is this really it, or will it end in our fate

is the happiness just a brief kiss
here for one moment then consumed by hate.
here for the next moment that beautiful state

then it will all be amiss
for it had gone all that beautiful bliss.
I'm feeling weak
its looking bleak.
Should I be that bait?
Or just continue and wait?

the days felt so bright
I felt so invincible
it was such a great sight
but the next thing I knew...

I was miserable.
the sun had lost its light.
and I was...
invisible

Title: Secrets
we are all broken
we all have those words that can't be spoken
your filled with pain
and yet have nothing to gain.
your lungs feel tight
but your body continues to fight.

your chest feels hollow
its makes it hard even to swallow
but you must grip onto those whom you follow.
To never let go
it must be so
for people must, never know

for they will judge
and I will therefore hold a grudge.
So who do I tell
where can I yell
I will just continue living on in my cell

I will hide behind my inner wall
maybe one day I will give that call
but for now
and I don't know how.

I will keep on
and maybe one day I won't have to continue on with this con
for one day, it will all be gone

title: flying
I feel so alone
like a pebble floating through water
like it was just thrown
ready for its slaughter

amongst so many
but yet just any old penny
you look up frowning
but see nothing but drowning
what if I cut my wrist?
Will I feel like I'd exist?

and in that short time
that sweet moment
you feel that climb
you don't feel like trying
your being swept up flying
your crawling
your falling

but you grab on
before you are gone
you grab hold of that earth
for all its worth
I must never let go
it must be so
for people must never know

haha i like that song. the tune sounds happy...but the lyrics are sad

A lot of lyrics by Portishead are simply about depression, I think...

"Wandering Star"

The day I die you will see a butterfly.

As I pass by, you will catch a bright light in your eye.

My wings will be yellow, brown, with a bit of baby blue sky.

It will remind you of when our lives crossed by.

Please don't cry, I will be close by.

Life is just a journey and life on earth is just a glimpse in forever time.

Our Universe we all share is like that of a butterfly. We are born, we fly and then we transcend into time.
