Sea of Depression
Why do I always sink
to my base level low
Can't I stay afloat
and breath a bit more
Can't I share the same
headspace as before
Can't I marvel at the sky
Without all the water pressure below
Keeping me down, keeping frowned
Keeping me from contentment
I have deep resentment
To things that gave me hope
Hope Island is a mirage
As I swim toward,
Do I get there? Nope.
Only exhausting my energy
Energy that is fading out
Ive cried SOS for years
Now I can't shout
to my base level low
Can't I stay afloat
and breath a bit more
Can't I share the same
headspace as before
Can't I marvel at the sky
Without all the water pressure below
Keeping me down, keeping frowned
Keeping me from contentment
I have deep resentment
To things that gave me hope
Hope Island is a mirage
As I swim toward,
Do I get there? Nope.
Only exhausting my energy
Energy that is fading out
Ive cried SOS for years
Now I can't shout
