Major Depressive Disorder Poems (my personal works)
💡💡💡GREAT READ AND 2 POEMS I WROTE…PLEASE READ. 💕
I frequently describe my MDD as feeling present but not fully alive, mindless walking through my life with complete and utter numbness while also simultaneously feeling sad, hopeless, melancholic, almost like the very breath that keeps me alive is void and gone.
Depression can feel like the mind is slowly draining its own color, leaving behind a grayscale existence where the world continues moving, but the person feels suspended outside of it.
BELOW ARE 2 POEMS ABOUT MY MDD.
📍 Poem #1
I move through my days half-formed,
present, yet never fully alive,
a quiet ghost pacing the outline
of the life I’m supposed to feel.
Numbness drapes itself over me,
a heavy veil that mutes everything,
while sadness, hopelessness, and old melancholies echo beneath the surface like distant storms.
Even my breath feels hollowed out,
air passing through a body
that remembers how to live
but cannot quite return.
Depression drains the colors slowly,
first the bright ones, then the rest,
until the world fades to grayscale
and I’m left watching life continue
from somewhere just outside myself.
📍 Poem #2
Something is stalking me
from the deepest corridors
of my own mind.
A shape I cannot outrun,
a presence that knows me
too intimately to escape.
It waits in the corners
where the light doesn’t reach,
patient, deliberate,
studying every fracture
in my resolve.
Its intentions aren’t kind.
It drags cold fingers
through my thoughts,
twisting them into shadows,
feeding on the places
where I’m already weary.
This thing after me,
this dark, relentless entity,
isn’t a monster from outside.
It’s my MDD,
the part of my mind
that turns against me,
that whispers ruin
in my own voice.
