Lock the door,Close the curtains,I ain’t going to smile anytime soon,That’s for certain,Feeling depressed,Not eaten today,I’m nothing but a tearful burden,Only in the way,My depression is too muchMy pain is too real,I’m numb and empty,Too numb to feel,A tear rolls down my face,A singular lonesome tear,I hug my pillow,Whilst shaking...

I’m a man of love,And I’m a man of hate,I always try to do what’s right,But I’ve made too many mistakes,I saw the sun rise,And I saw the sun set,Then I fell asleep,And the peace and I never met,I saw the dark,I saw the light,I rejected the peace,Cos I saw...

I don’t know who I am any more,I ain’t the person I once saw,I just want to fade away and go,But why? That I don’t know,I’m broken and have been for a long time,I want calm but only more demons I find,All I want is for inner peace,But I know...

A ready meal for one,A bottle of vodka calling my name,A room full of emptiness,Reminding me I failed at loves game,With Christmas fast approaching,Less than a week away,I pray that someone asks for my friendship,But it defiantly won’t be today,All I want is a cuddle at Christmas,All I want is...

Another night I can’t sleep,Filled with loneliness, regrets and isolation,I try to relax as the sun rises,But self-hate is my only meditation,I stay clear from drugs,And I try not to drown myself in drink,My head and thoughts are empty,But the quietness is so loud I can’t hear myself think,Lately, women...

I don’t know what to do,Not anymore,I’m the lowest I’ve ever been,Lower than ever before,I hold back my lonely tears all day,To release them at night,The depression and isolation was too strong,And I’m too weak to fight,I’m a few levels below just existing,I am now just a ghost,And the feeling...

The woman on the street corner with a forgotten name,Hooked on heroin and on the game,A young girl turned woman before her time,On the streets since she was nine,She cringes at the sight of her own reflection,And only her pimp can offer her protection,She only smiles when she is buying,The...

Do you have a headache?Cos we have a pill for that,Are you upset?Cos we have a pill for that,Or are you happy and content?Cos we have a pill for that,Are you hungry?Cos we have a pill for that,Or do you want to lose weight?Cos we have a pill for that,Do...

I see you and you see me,You call me names and mess with me,You don’t like my hair or the way I dress,You strike me down when I’m at my best,I drink you away to numb the pain,You’re gone for a while then you’re back again,I want to get better,...

I am The Dark Poet,Rhyming everything that is real,I write about life,Whilst I’m still able to feel,I am The Dark Poet,Damaged, lost and lonely,I speak the truth,And the truth only,I am The Dark Poet,Poems about drink and drugs,A life of mental health,Living in a world surrounded by criminals and thugs,I...

I travel my path in life,And walk down many different roads,And sometimes that path,Might not be the one I first chose,But my journey,At some point will come to an end,My body will be in the ground,As my soul starts to descend,Before I was born,I was a single sperm,But when I...

Why can’t I just be happy?Why can’t I smile?And why when I do nothing wrong,Do I put myself on trial?Why am I unable to feel,Yet cry all day?Why when I want to die,Do I decide to stay?Why do I not trust anyone,Yet I’m unable to trust myself?Why is it ok...

Riding round on my pushbike,Doing whatever the hell I liked,Not getting in till dark,I was safe playing football in the park,Running round for hours, never stopped,Getting penny sweets from the corner shop,Swapping Pokémon cards and smoking fake cigarettes,A time I’ll never forget,Hearing Granddads stories of his youth,Giving me advice, scars...
