The waves of my depression crash around me
And retreat
For a mere moment i am okay
Until the tide becomes high and i drown
Back into my sadness
And i know i can swim
I know i can float
But the salt water sadness fills my lungs
And i am left gasping for air
But instead i am inhaling the ocean
The billions of years of sea
Tidal waves crash around me
And i wish i could stand
But these small ripples of water
Feel like a tsunami against my three foot fence.
