The art of Rejection

I feel like I'm drowning.
I fell off a boat and it's drifted so far away.
I'm in a storm and the waves keep crashing right back on my head again and again.
I gradually lose strength and slip from the surface.
It doesn't matter that know how to swim.
I'm drowning except the funny thing is.........
There's no water.
It's just me in a sea of hopelessness and depression
