Depression

Depression can feel like you are drowning.

bubbles skim the waters surface as i struggle to swim, struggle to breathe

im falling, sinking, deeper, downwards, like a leaf falling from its tree

in slow motion it seems, time seems to stand still

im trying to hold on but i can no longer feel

there's nothing but silence and a undeniable insight

that ill soon stop breathing if i don't continue to fight

the water all around me is so heavy and its pulling me away

away from life, from joy and from love

all my memories and loved ones are being left up above.

hey wait for me, im here fighting to stay.

please don't think i don't care that my life is draining away

but sometimes this is just how i feel

like im drowning , the suffocation feels so real

but i try to find a light in every day

a moment of joy

this is my distraction from my pain

its ok not to be okay

the sun cannot shine every single day.

nor can it rain every day either

its ok to have lows as long as the highs still come too

reach out to your loved ones.

the ones that love you

please don't hold your pain inside your heart

release it, set it free that's a strong place to start.

try to smile at something everyday

and think positive, keep telling yourself that you will be okay.
