it feels like i’m drowning in sadness most days.
it’s everywhere, all around me
a deep dark blue ocean filled with tears
and there’s nothing i can do but breathe it in
i know its happening, the drowning,
but i don’t try to stop it
because it’s better to feel like you’re drowning in sadness
than to feel nothing at all

i float further and further down into the depths and the unknown
only sometimes getting a gasp of fresh air
and i trick myself into thinking i’m getting better
that i’m fine
that i will make it through
and i think i’ve noticed
those are the days
when i’m with you

But i’ve also noticed
that there are days
where you are concrete tied to my feet
pulling me down
even furthe
