Quicksand

I feel myself sinking deeper
In this quicksand beneath my feet
It’s past and present and future
I’m falling towards my defeat

Emotions grab hold of my ankles
And threaten my body to drown
I’m writhing in mounting terror
On my whole way down

The anger is pulling so strong
The confusion is helping as well
But strongest of all is sadness
And they’re taking me to their hell

I can’t lift a single finger
I can’t change a thought in my mind
I’m fearing the depths below me
And everything I’ll find

And at last I cease my struggling
There’s no point in playing life’s games
I succumb to all these terrors
And perish in these flames

    HONEST AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN

    As we fear we give in to those fears, a most wonderful and honest poem my dear friend. I hope to see more from you soon.
