Poems about Depression

POEMS ABOUT DEPRESSION, HEALING DEPRESSION​
This chapter features poems that explore the complex emotions and challenges of living with depression. Through raw and honest reflections, these poems capture the weight of sadness, the struggle with procrastination, and the fight to overcome inner darkness. Each poem offers insight into the journey of navigating mental health and finding moments of light amidst the shadows. 
DEEPLY PRESSED is a thought-provoking poem that delves into the experience of depression through vivid, surreal imagery. It portrays a confrontation with a mysterious force that has long been pressing down, leading to a drastic attempt to break free. This imaginative piece offers readers a profound reflection on the journey of overcoming inner struggles and the complexities of healing.

IN THE SADNESS OF MY SOUL  Sometimes in life, when hardship becomes too much to bear, we may feel disconnected from ourselves, as if a part of our soul has gone silent. In this vulnerable poem, sadness becomes more than just an emotion—it becomes a bridge to the first step of healing: acknowledging the depth of our pain. Through its delicate imagery and quiet strength, this poem invites us to sit with our sorrow and discover the whisper of hope that lies within.
PROCRASTINATION AND DEPRESSION portrays the constant battle with two forces that seem to undermine every effort toward progress. As the struggle intensifies, these forces act like relentless shadows, undoing hope and strength at every turn. The poem offers a vivid portrayal of how procrastination and depression take hold, but hints at a deeper reflection on why they persist and how they can be confronted.
SADNESS  Sometimes, in the face of deep emotional pain, we are presented with a choice: to numb it, deny it, let it pass through us, OR dare to dive into its embrace fully. "Sadness" is a bold exploration of that daring choice. Rather than pushing sorrow away, the author eventually surrenders to its currents, dancing with it, grieving with it, even becoming it. Through this deeply moving poem, sadness is no longer just an affliction—it becomes a profound teacher, revealing a heart a bit stronger, a soul a bit wiser, and a self a bit more free.
