a collection of pretty depressing poems

[REN]

I'm in a good mood today, so I figured hey, why not share angsty poems I've written over the years?

I never write unless I'm sad, so EVERYTHING is depressing sorry hahaha

these are the only ones I still like and have kept all this time. enjoy!!

--

on a plain white t shirt
one bold word was printed:
endure

--

I hope tomorrow morning
flows like water
and washes me away

--

I can’t tell if this feeling is the same as
being punched in the gut
or gutted open

but, I have a gut feeling about it

--

a monstrous shadow
looms
follows me wherever I walk, and his eyes burn holes

in my head

he has this
wry
smile

--

this plastic bag, tied around my throat
encases my head, sticks to my skin
and the bag
has some water in it too
it’s almost up to my nose

covering my mouth, I can't say a thing

I'm left to breathe
what little air there is

--

we are the same
isolated from the world
refusing to open ourselves up

all of us, together, we are
alone

--

so very real
and a threat to my vitality

I drank it down until I felt heavy
and couldn’t walk anymore

--

fruits fall
and rot into the ground
I'm so out of season right now

--

ever heard of sylvia plath?
yeah,
me too

--

today, I don’t want to tell you how I really feel
so let’s talk about something else

I wonder

when will this fade away

--

the world needs to just
leave me alone

I'm through with sunrises

and those mocking birds
remind me that I have to breathe another day
of mere existence

and not really
life

--

anchored to the bottom
of a bitter tasting sea

I should just dissolve
and yet
I don’t know if I’m strong enough for that

--

I know that I'll survive
I'll feel okay again

but if I could stop
feeling anything
I think I'd rather do that instead

--

I can't break the jar encasing me
I'll cut my skin on glass

--

I want to say
good night
to tomorrow already

--

the voice became so loud
that eventually I became
the voice

Great poem! Nice to have another poetry person join us. I hope you will continue to share more of your talent with us. 

Thank you! I'm sure I will. I absolutely love poetry and want to write happier things too lol

Nice poems, keep it up.  You should try to write something positive.

Thanks for sharing. Good read. I was once like you REN. It's ok to write depressing poems, as long as you express it and let it out. I have had many myself, from time to time I will write a positive ones. Give that a try.

Good to have you join in.

Yes, certainly. Writing makes everything calm even though mentally we may be struggling with our own battles.

Same here, keep warm.

I absolutely agree omg. idk why but expressing everything through art has always helped me feel better.

I'll try to write a happy poem soon. Thank you so much

btw, are you a girl or a boy? I thought you are a girl but you have a blue color next to your gender. 

Oh, it's actually a really hard thing to explain.

my parents call me their daughter because I was born female, but I personally go by genderqueer, fluctuating between male and female gender expression often.

It's all very complicated. I kind of wish there was an "other" option for gender on here. I plan to explain the concept of gender further in another thread someday.

Just refer to me by whatever makes you feel most comfortable, it doesn't matter to me ^^

I am with on this. I have always been writing. It's my way of coping, my way of attaining peace within.

Looking forward to reading them.

Here are some of my recollection of my youth days. Nothing intended. Just read for your own enjoyment and hope we all get a smile. I didn't write them though, but enjoy.

"It takes one day to have a crush on someone. It takes a week to like someone. A month to fall in luv. And a life time to ever forget"

The shortest word for me is I
The sweetest word for me is LOVE
But the only word for me is YOU


nothing matters to me anymore except for
the things i say about you
the things i like about you
the things i want about you
the things i feel about you


true love never leaves the heart, so if you dont' love me now....you didn't love me
then....

Great poems; very simple but leaves enough room for thought.  I like your style and format; I'll have to try it out.
