Islandized

 What does depression feel like? 

Not able to move out of the way of an incoming missile strike? 

Knowing I need to act but I stay there frozen.

 
Broken and terrified from previous path I've chosen. 

A small stream that once offered cool refreshing water

grew into a creek damned up by a river otter 

so the creek became a pond which grew to swallow my pride 

the water source of thought soon swelled into a Riverside 

the thoughts are flowing and the pressure builds

The Dam breaks and all of that water spills 

flooding me back until I stand surrounded 

Islandized and alone by the waters abounded.
