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.
