TW! Topics of Su1C1De, DEPRESSION AND OVERALL MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES!
I wrote this poem to vent about my struggles. Wanted to share it!
Shallow…
I’m not shallow.
My mind goes deeper than the ocean
And no, I will not drag you into the deep dark with me…
Sinking…
I must be sinking…
I can still breathe but just barely
Although, my nostrils are full of the salty, empty sea…
Grieving…
I am grieving…
Everyday I drift out further away
So far, I'm just another trapped castaway.
Scared…
I’m really scared…
I will never return back to land,
So I beg you to cover me with sand…
This isn’t shallow…
This body of the ocean was deeper than I thought…
