People will read many stories about depression With similes and metaphors and a bunch of other figurative ******** They'll feel a sense of comfort in the fact that they understand those simple little rhymes... But I do not Because words on paper can never communicate this feeling Words cannot express the emptiness and struggle I have within myself Day after ******* day I am drowning in my own mind I am gasping for air with every word write Every word that I read I write I read I gasp I cannot breathe Because I am drowning in my own mind And I've forgotten how to swim I am no longer able to tread water My body has given up I've lost every ounce of strength I might have once had And I am ready to stop gasping I am ready to let go And sink My mind won't surrender My body is giving up but my mind won't let go I can no longer tread this water, but my mind refuses to sink I cry and I cut and I pray to whatever god there may be I pray That my mind Will drown. My head is still above the waves But my body My soul My life Has drowned
