Quicksand

It’s around you
It’s everywhere
Your body
Slowly being pulled
Into the recesses of the Earth
Quicksand
Quicksand
It’s everywhere
The dry, cracked mud
Mixed with the cold
Unnatural
Liquid
It’s everywhere
And you
Are going
In
Inside

You should’ve watched your step
The things you said
The things you did
All led
To you being eaten
By the biggest monster
The one who you were born on
As you struggle
You’re pulled in faster
The quicksand
Is everywhere
You don’t know
How you managed
To flounder
Into
This mess
It’s everywhere
And you
Are being pulled
In
Inside
The thing that was once
Solid under your feet

As if by magic
The land
Your feet were supported by
The rug you were standing on
Was ripped
Torn
Pulled
Straight out
From under you
And now
And now
It’s everywhere
It’s not very pleasant
Is it?
The social cues
You missed
That would have
Prevented you
From floundering
Into this problem
But now
The Earth is
Swallowing you whole
Just like you wished
Just like you hoped
It’s ironic
How you get
Exactly what you wish for
And as you struggle
You get pulled
Deeper and deeper
Into
This
Quicksand
It’s everywhere
It’s everywhere
And you?
And you?
Are
Just about
To
No
Longer
Be
