Entitled "Fish Out Of Water"

Every day I wake up feeling claustrophobic

My optimism is suffocated by the grips of life

I can barely hear myself think

I retreat into my cocoon and lock everyone out

The water surrounding me is tainted

A reflection of my problems

I try to fight the current sometimes my limbs give in

A wave of depression pushes me back

Drowning all the happiness within me

I struggle to the surface gasping

As a tear falls down my face

Knowing that the monster called the ocean

May consume me I hope for divine intervention to occur

I am a small fish

With the small body

No matter how rough

The waters may be

I still have to find a way to keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Swimming

Swimming

Swimming

Just keep swimming

Until there’s no life left in my body
