Drowning Poem by Kaysen Fraker

This world is so big
inhabited by an ocean of people
an ocean so vast
there is no shore

Yet with so many people
I feel so completely alone
drowning in an ocean of workers
with no idea which way to swim

My future is not bleak
it is not limited
it isn't restricted
my future is completely black

I can't see past the people around me
I can't decide what to do
or when to do it
I feel like I'm drowning

The surface is so far away
so far out of reach
that I know I'll never reach it
I know I'll never know what I want to do

I'm drowning in my own depression.
