do you know what it's like

to the wake up

feeling empty?

like there isn't a point?

do you know how it feels

to be drowned by your own thoughts

of your worst enemy—

your own self?

are you familiar with the feeling

of the welcoming darkness I'm oh-so aquatinted with

it surrounds me constantly yet I'm still alive

but I'm no longer living

— depression has drowned me in the water

that taught you how to swim
