Ocean in My Mind
The water consumes everything around
Sinking, sinking, I continue to drown
Screaming, fighting, and yet there is no sound
I embrace the darkness as I sink down
When will it end? Will I ever be free?
Is this reality? Is it my mind?
Will I stop plunging deeper in this sea?
Here I suffer alone, while they stay blind.
Someone, please hear my plea, I beg of you!
Falling, falling, I attempt to survive
Clawing, crying, surrounded by the blue
I have no choice but to endure the dive
But wait! There is a faint glow up ahead!
I escape the monsters inside my head.
