Alone In a Black Sea

The waves come and go, Always crashing into me. I fear I'll drown Each time a new wave comes crashing down. My head can stay above water, But only for so long Once the waves start to hit harder All hope is gone. I forget how to swim, When the black water swells. It is the shadow I never see coming, Then the black is grasping at my ankles. I fight the fight that is rarely won, I battle the waves of depression, I hope I'm not the only one.
