Drowning

I am good for a while
I'll talk more, laugh more
Sleep and eat normally
But then something happens
Like a switch turns off somewhere
And all I am left with is the darkness of my mind
But each time it seems like I sink
Deeper and deeper
And I am scared...
Terrified that one day I won't make it back up
I feel like I'm gasping for air
Screaming for help
But everyone just looks at me
With confused faces
Wondering what I'm struggling over
When they're all doing just fine
And it makes me feel crazy

What the hell is wrong with me?
