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
