Poetry About Depression

Poetry about depression speaks carefully about heaviness, numbness, isolation, exhaustion, and the way ordinary tasks can become mountains. These poems do not romanticize pain; they make room for honesty and support.

Depression can narrow the world until help feels far away. These verses look for small mercies: water, a phone call, a window opened, one morning reached.
