A silent sort of sadness Quiet, deadly depression Weighs me down, anchors me deeper Dragging me into the dark syrupy ocean That I created within myself from emotion And it's surrounding me, drowning me, Filling my lungs and coating my insides Too much of it touching my skin to feel it within so I'm Drowning numb, giving in to sleep Adding to the secret scar collection I keep Waiting for the tide to pull me to shore Or waiting until I can't breathe anymore
