Sinking lower
Almost as far as I can go
Swimming in a lake of Depression
Rejection
And Shame's putrid liquid embodiment
My head beneath the surface
Flailing and gasping for the smallest breath
It draws me down
The lower I go
The more it stings
It hurts more than ever before
Can't take a breath
I'm already choking it in
It's thicker, darker stronger than it was
It burns me from the inside
It rapes me of my dignity
My pride
My self worth
I have almost nothing left
No more fight to give
My arm is extended
But there is no help
My eyes have swelled with Tears
I can't see
Can't help myself
My heart slows
My mind falters
My body gives way
I keep sinking
