poem that also works as lyrics
The subject matter is 'depression' this sone explains how I feel when I get really depressed and useless


sink

Don't want to drown
but I don't want to breath
It pulls me down
but I let it
Loose myself to the buety of the sea
Run out of oxygen ...naturally
My lungs are full nut I'm breathless
the atmosphere hipnotic
My body gluides through clear water
But I don't feel alive
Let it wash over me
the salt goes deeper than the skin
And I feel like drowning
Delibratley forget to breath

I like the topic but I trip over the words that are so close that spelling does make a difference:
breath for breathe
buety for beauty
gluides for glides

ican tolerate hipnotic for hypnotic
and even delibratley for deliberately

But, that is the English teacher critic in me. My life has been devoted to eliciting correctness ad nauseam. The subject and the read are well worth the time spent even hurdling the minor bumps.
