I drown into the depths of the ocean, swiveling within the whirlpools and the tides that surprisingly couldn't cease to erase the hammering pounds upside my head.
My eyes are open, my lips are sealed with agony as my heart plummets beneath the deep blue sea. I'm lost, I can't seem to find you anymore. My body pulsates with fear and coldness as it sinks deeper within the core of the sea...where were you when I needed you to swim deeper and rescue me?
The heart beats faster than the mind could even stomach a thought. But, I'm fine...I promise. I was careless, I didn't think about the people who ACTUALLY cared about me. I'm FREE, I'm finally FREE!
Stress? It's not welcomed here no more!
Depression? Oh, I thought it said something!
And love? Well, you gave me things, but you've also hurt me!
My skin? Frail but free from my troubles!
And my mind, it's slowly perishing as I drown.
Deeper and deeper into the deep blue sea.
I'm fine...I promise.
