Poetry

Depression

Depression

She walked on the beach on a sunny day

And stepped into the water

It cooled her ankles, so she walked in farther

At knee length she began to shiver

But insisted she should continue

Deeper, deeper she went

The water splashed around her waist

Clouds filled the sky

It got too dark to see

But she continued on

The water slashed at her neck

She cried for help but no one could hear

It was hopeless, but she continued on

Into the deep dark ocean

Her head was swallowed by the water

She could not swim up to the surface

And she drowned as the storm raged on
