The Sea

In a trench of depression 
Deep below the surface 
Drowning alive 
Life is like the sea
Calm one moment 
Tragic the next 

I hold my breath 
Trying to get to the top 
But it seems as though it can not be reached
Just as I break the surface the waves pull me under once more 
I feel like the end will never come 
I pray and pray for relief 
I pray for something or someone to take away my pain 
But nothing does
But no one does 

I struggle for air and start to panic 
Just as I think the end has finally come 
The water becomes stagnant 
I reach the top
My lungs begging for oxygen as I take a deep breath 
I try to keep moving
Heading towards the safety of land 
I plead that the water stays calm long enough 
But it never does 

The waves begin to thrash
I feel myself heading for the trench once more 
I try to keep my head up 
Watching the sunset in the horizon 
The sun begins to go down 
As do I 

I am finally pulled under once again 
This time knowing I will not be coming back up 
I take in my last breath and let the waves engulf me 
I sink down slowly but surely 
I feel the warmth of love surround me 
I am finally freed.
