depression like an ocean

i've  broken all my promises 

let everyone down

depression is like an ocean

im starting to drown

im shackled to the weight of the blade in my hand 

under my feet are insults like grains of sand 

life guards who can hardly swim are begging me to stay afloat 

but all i do is lay face down and breath in all the sand and water 

exhale all my strength and the last of my will power 

im drowning 

sinking slowly 

into insanity
