Quicksand

Have you ever felt As if you were sinking And your bad luck Never ceases Life is like a game A half a step to early You don’t quite catch it A half step to late You don’t quite make it Hard time better the man These times feel As if your trapped in quicksand Every action Brings reaction Sometimes it seems You can never get traction Slipping and falling Make you feel as if you will never survive Just continue Continue to strive When sinking into the darkness Just remember this It doesn’t matter How many times you miss All you need to turn around Is a sign of light Once it is found You will take flight The harder the times The better the man Just remember that When you are in quicksand
