Ocean in My Mind


  1. The water consumes everything around

  2. Sinking, sinking, I continue to drown

  3. Screaming, fighting, and yet there is no sound

  4. I embrace the darkness as I sink down

  5. When will it end? Will I ever be free?

  6. Is this reality? Is it my mind?

  7. Will I stop plunging deeper in this sea?

  8. Here I suffer alone, while they stay blind.

  9. Someone, please hear my plea, I beg of you!

  10. Falling, falling, I attempt to survive

  11. Clawing, crying, surrounded by the blue

  12. I have no choice but to endure the dive

  13. But wait! There is a faint glow up ahead!

  14. I escape the monsters inside my head.
