My Time in the Blue

Life with Depression

By Bailey WatkinsPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Spend most my time in the blue

Wondering if it ever gets better

The sun never shines here

Even though it’s the same color of the sky

I play my records of sad songs

Sung by the ones who share the blue

Helps to not make me feel so alone

While I drift in this sea

You’re not supposed to swim once it’s dark

But how can you avoid it in the blue

Anything that were to get me can’t be as bad

As the ones in my head anyways

Constantly reminding me of where I am

Blue isn’t always so dark

Some days it can be pleasant

Like a day on the beach

But dozen of days I’m drowning in it

As I go deeper and deeper

It gets darker

And I can’t seem to breathe yet I live

If you call this living
