    Quicksand

    I can’t take it
    I’m tired
    I’m done

     

    I can’t fake it
    No more smiles
    I’m done

     

    I can’t hear you
    I don’t want to
    I’m done

     

    Can’t you see I’m falling apart
    Can’t you see I’m done
    Can’t you see you’ve accomplished your goal
    Can’t you see you’ve won
    Can’t you just leave me alone
    Can’t you hear my screams
    Can’t you see what your doing
    Can’t you see what that means

     

    I can’t take it
    I can’t fake it
    I can’t smile
    I can’t make it
    I can’t hold them
    They’ll break it
    I can’t control them
    They just take it

     

    They curse me to the quick
    They beat me till i bleed
    They make me feel so sick
    It’s help I really need

     

    The demons are taking control
    They’re devouring my soul
    They’re grabbing at my hand
    Dragging me down… like quicksand.

    This would make great song lyrics, screamed over aggressive music. Great write, the angst is apparent and this piece wears it with pride.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
