Stuck

depressed... once again

 

I yell and scream

But the walls don’t hear

In a sinking box, stuck

One leak slowly letting in water

I rode the waves of insanity and was okay

Until you came

I was a façade of stone

Empty and free

Until you opened the top

And looked in

Why? Why did you look?

Your eyes held a strange emotion

I thought it was a myth

They held happiness and I just wanted it

And I wanted out, to where it was

And you tried to help

But instead I crashed into the rocky shore just by

So I just got to skim and see happy

But then I drifted back here,

Except it’s different

The water’s leaking in.

I need someone

I don’t know who this person is

I’m looking for each day

I know I’m not finding them

Because life still seems

So grey and colorless

The water’s getting higher

I’ve been treading now for days

But now I’m just hopeful that

I’m going to drown

Because without you

I can’t swim

I'm going to drown
Because without you
I can't swim

Words that speak straight to my heart. Thanks for sharing!

I love the symbolic feeling of drowning and having only a glimpse of happiness. The concept sounds dark and beautiful. You have a wonderful style.
