Stay Alive
Sinking deeper, I cry inside, I can't move, The tarry, oil black t         h        o        u         g         h        t       s, Fill me, Consume my every motion breath, crevice, No light No air Iv'e        r    u   n out of time, Ran out of hope, Then I drown Swallowed by my depression, Swallowed by the ocean Swallowed by my fears.
The title of a song by social repose, also my inspiration. This is about depression and suicide, the dark oil/water in depression, and symbolizes the fear of death, but also the hopelessness one feels while being depressed.
