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.
