Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
Anhedonia
   
Author: Robin Butler
   
Poem:
Anhedonia
   
 
Days and nights grow longer, loneliness you seem to feel
Alone of stand in thousands, the emptiness is real
It's hard to face the mornings, move with feet of lead
Staring in the mirror, yearning for the bed

You reach and grab your bottle that holds the magic pill
To you it softens edges, but sickness rules you still
Confusion even dressing, dark colors look the same
Quick comb, little makeup, the mirror holds disdain

Procrastination is the measure of how to judge a day
Slow to leave your haven, with dread wishing to stay.
Smiles you paste on easy, a joke to make them laugh
A diversion from the sensing, your turmoil's hidden past

Jobs done mechanical, robotically through the day
Change outside the boxes or dances in the grey
Drives a mind to meltdowns, automation the only way.
Watch the clock slow ticking, anxious to end today

Shun the ones that love you, dread each call to say
Please don't ask for my help, too burdened, go away
Each day a chore to live in, alone you want to stay
Put off or forgetting easy, trudge through life this way

By now I'm sure you've noticed, my sickness has a name.
Change of mind and body, my feelings soon became
Things seem unusual, in signs that beg to say
I suffer from Depression, help me find my way

My needs are for your comfort, arms to hold me fast
To rid me of my darkness, to find my way at last
Strength of friends and family, shed this cloak despair
Rise above Depression, surrounded by those that care.

A HONEST PAGE
   
Author: Marie Smith
   
Poem: A HONEST PAGE
   


Deciding I would write a book.
For inspiration I would look,
deep in the annals of my mind.
To find, a pathway I may walk,
and talk.
Of every blade of grass I touched,
and iron gates, gone to rust.
Their desolation a mockery,
of all I would aspire to be.
A honest page, would be enough,
just off the cuff, without much thought.
An empathy, that doesn't daunt.
My timid spirit, my raging soul.
One honest page to fullfill my goal.
