Black Waters

I'm stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean
Floating on water as black as the blackest tar
Waves of depression hit me from every side
Pushing me from the shore much too far

I try to turn the boat around but go nowhere
As I paddle with broken hopes and broken dreams
The black water starts to fill up all around me
Seeping in from every crack and every seam

It starts to soak into my pale skin
Each cell consumed by it's sadness and pain
Suicidal thoughts fill my head with empty promises
Insanity eating away at my shallow brain

The blackness becomes overpowering
As it pulls me into it's raging tide
I spin out of total control
With nowhere left to hide
