Depression

I am drowning in the center

Of the ocean. I scream and yell,

But no one swims my way. There

Are bolts of lightning as the waves

Violently rage on. I watch the people

As they laugh and play, unaware of

The voices in my head. They are

Oblivious to the tornado eating

My body. I gasp in between gulps

Of water as the ocean quickly silences

My cries of pleas. This is what depression

Feels like. I am drowning and no one knows.
