My Depression
Strong, hard, deep
Pulling me
Going up and up and up
I can't breathe
Pressure of water pushing in on me
Slipping into my mouth
Filling my nostrils
I can't breathe
Still being pulled
Up and up and up
My lungs are collapsing
I can't open my eyes
It's dark
So dark
I can hear my heart beat
Feel it pounding in my chest
Slowing
I can't breathe
But I'm being pulled
Up and up and up
I break surface
Coughing, sputtering
Light pushing through my eyelids
I struggle to open them
My pulse speeding up
My mouth opening
My lungs opening
I open my eyes and I'm free
The pulling stops
And I fall back in
