Depression


Deep, deep down In the deep blue sea The waters appear not so blue They flow in darkness, with cold empty sensations No sorry soul wishes to sink here Deep, deep down In the deep dark sea No life lines down there In the depths of the abyss For fish fear this danger zone Although some do swim beneath Out of destruction or choice They swim aimlessly, glide motionless With no purpose in mind except to exclude the harsh ways of the world. They strive to hide deep down To hide their face To hide their sadness And to sink their pride For pride no longer exists The tears of pride no not show Deep down, for they are unseen by darkness Water washes them away They are hidden Their character Their soul Their salvation Compares to that of the deep, deep, down The deep, dark sea.
