landlocked & drowning
drowning in a sea of people
all of them witnesses
to that which they cannot see
"What's depression like?" he asked.

"It's like drowning, except you can see everyone else around you breathing."

Nothing has ever rang more true than this quote. When I saw it, the words for the poem immediately poured out of me. It put into words everything I was struggling to verbalize.
