Heartaches will never last nor will they ever stay;
sorrow shall go so fast in the passing of day.
Once in a little while, one's heart may break and bleed;
abandoned by the smile, his teardrops want to plead.

'Just get over it, ' they say
I wish I could find a way
Living with it day by day
Memories won't go away

Inside that feeling of depression..........
It's not just a silly superstiotion...........
It's hard to make this confession........
...
call it the greenhouse effect or whatever
but it just doesn't rain like it used to.
I particularly remember the rains of the
depression era.
...
In their faces a colourless gaping of life's adversity:
the hopeless grief of a hellish existence;
Malnourished, starving, filth and olfactory horrors;
Their humiliating nothingness clothed in rags;

Depression makes me feel pain
Depression makes me stupid
Depression makes me feel low
Depression makes me mad

Stand in front of the mirror
Either boys or girls, some got depression
Try to find yourself underneath the reflection
Dissect each point, seek for perfection

The flood of recession
has shaken the foundation
of house of hope,
built on land of optimism

I'm waiting for the very person,
Who'll wipe off my sorrows,
The one who will give me a hug,
When I have no hope left.

My pain nobody sees.
My my mangled body they shall see.
My head was all but a mess.

Every morning a new arrival.

I had a Hippopotamus, I kept him in a shed
And fed him upon vitamins and vegetable bread
I made him my companion on many cheery walks
And had his portrait done by a celebrity in chalk

Oh!
Wight of puny might
Junk the junk food
it’s dynamite

Depression is like a tidal wave pulling you further in
You don't feel upto facing anyone or anything
Depression is a huge emphasis on feeling sad and low
...
Our lives avoided tragedy
Simply by going on and on,
Without end and with little apparent meaning.
Oh, there were storms and small catastrophes.
...
True love. Is it normal
is it serious, is it practical?
What does the world get from two people
who exist in a world of their own?

Depression is a world
Depression leaves you lost
Depression drops you into a never ending black hole
You want to get help

Pain
Pain over here pain over there
Pain in my heart pain in my soul
Pain in my mind

Depression is being tired, when you're never able to sleep
Depression is pity, when you hate other's sympathy
Depression is longing for more, when you never acknowlede what's already there
Depression is the feeling of self-hatred, when the arrogance is concurrently overwhelming

I shed my tears; my tears – my consolation;
And I am silent; my murmur is dead,
My soul, sunk in a depression’s shade,
Hides in its depths the bitter exultation.

depression is when you hate everyone around
depression is when you don't want to make a sound
depression is when all you want to do is cry
depression is when you feel like you’re dying inside

There i stand at the end of highway
Facing the endless bare horizon
That seems to gulp every path and road
Wishing to trace the fortunate means

Love is the one thing
That keeps our spirits whole
When Sorrow comes a knocking
With hurts that touch our soul

it is fighting to be set free
the real me is now fighting
clawing at my inside
pulling trying to break the chains

Laying on the green leaf, left and abandoned
Be a caterpillar, never easy as u thought
Hated, oppressed are common, love is rarely brought
With friends, everywhere is like home, strong without bone

You have an empty feeling that comes from within
You long to share your feelings but no one will listen
You reach out for open arms, but nobody is there
Your tears fall to the ground, but nobody cares

Skinned knees
Aching bellies
An Ankle sprain;
Mother, your one kiss was enough

Frustrated I stood in front
of the God to Pray,
And asked him why lunatics
are increasing day by day.

Violence, crimes, corruption, oppression

Depression,
A 10-letter word,
Easy to utter,
Slithers, oh so easily, down the throat,

We’re sauntering slowly
In the exciting evening
Exchanging a mystical kiss
Soft moonlight avenue bliss;

So I look back on my life
trying to find a happy moment
to block out the pain
to have something to think about

the eyes of the light are so blind
blind to reality
blind to the truth
the eyes of darkness see it all

On to you that I just found
Sent to me last time around

my life has gone down the black hole of deep depression
my life has gone down to hell
so now i lie me, down to die

This haunts my sleep
It burns out smiles, assuaging nothing as it does so.
Feeding my depression and fanning the flames of my heartache.
Can't you tell me that everything will be alright?

You steal my soul and hide it in the deep
You take my heart away to turn me into a sheep
You come in the night and rape my mind
You peel my imagination like a rind

All gone

those dreams of happiness

Why hath thou in a state of depression?
Speak out my dear

Depression and its woes,
The fears and insecurities
A dying patient knows;

Many people write
For their true emotions to unravel
Out of depression, angst, spite
But I can’t

traveling through every pore of your Heart.

'WHY' …she asks, 'do we together now live? '
[[ My wife is/(was?) thinking of ‘leaving me'; IT is TRUE! ]]
To this, her question, what answer shall I now give?
It must be honest and believable ….when I am through.

The ants are in great pain

Drifting out of sight, fading into the night.
Times of frustration and depression.
An uncomfortably disturbing state of mind deriving from the darkness...
Thrown into a state of intense stress and desperation, how can I ease the pain in my aching heart?

We were put on this earth for many reasons
To enjoy every moment, every hour, every day, every season.
To do the very best that we can do.

I just feel so down
I only frown
I have no smile left
Depression is a theft

Staring at the walls...at the pictures that hang there
each photo...of it all
each step of our relationship..that started, with lust, wanting and care
the last picture that is hung

Depression is when you hate everyone around
Depression is when you don't want to make a sound
Depression is when all you want to do is cry
Depression is when you feel like your dying inside

No more laying down
It is time to take a stand
But who is it I am taking a stand to
For I know most of it is my fault

Life is nothing
But a song
song of sorrows
song of happiness

Breathe softly, settle down,
Allow anger to subside;
When sadness clouds your innervision,
Imagination runs wild.

I just don't know what to do right now
I don't know how to deal with it
all the anger
all the tears

The depression of the 1930's was the time of my childhood days,
There were a lot of worries and hardships in many ways.
Whatever time people could spare, they would help each other out,
Bad times also came when there was a draught.

yours the resonant night in the dormant valley

When we write
Poetry
Freedom lives
Depression

Meathooks, notebooks,
the whole city sky palely flaming
& spectral bombs
hitting that patch of river

So much pain and suffering, for one so young
Often melodies of sorrow, you silently sung
Your hands and feet were endlessly so cold
You told me in closeness, you would never grow old
...
Cherish every moment
In your lifetime
Enjoy every detail of it
From it's greatest beauties to a small, meaningless dime
...
Little drops of water from the distant past
Ripples rushes and runs into today
Deluge of impotence overflowing
...
To all survivors
of natural calamities,
to all sufferers
of man-created disasters,

I sit alone and ponder,
the cards life has dealt.
The dreams that were dismissed,
for the sake of quelling nightmares.

In times of travail I was there
In times of depression I stood by you
In times of mock and scorn I shielded you
In times of bitterness I sorrowed with you

What did I do
that I had to
choose between two loves?

Hail to thee, O Glorious dawn!

Depression is being lonely in a room full of people
Depression is being constantly tired but never able to sleep
Depression is longing to be with others yet not being able to cope with company
Depression makes you lose your appetite and eat yourself fat

I LOVE thee, mournful, sober-suited Night!
When the faint moon, yet lingering in her wane,
And veil'd in clouds, with pale uncertain light

to her it is just another night
another sleepless night
another break down

Depression is my life without you,
Depression is the darkness taking over the light,
Depression is the thoughts of suiside
Depression is islolation from the outside world

Conceiving a dream and desire of a woman
But if it's a result of a rape or incest
A trauma which she carries life long
When her purity is robbed off.

I cry but there's no tears,
Is this life,
Or am i isolated with emotion.
