Quicksand

by Beth - Scorpio

Is there anybody out there,
can you tell me where I am?
Feels like I've fallen through the cracks
 and I'm waist deep in quicksand
The scene it is familiar,
like an old worn out shoe
I just can't place where I am
swimming in Deja Vu
the lights are dim, it's hard to see
I know I've been here before
But how and when I can't decide
don't know if I can take much more
This war is raging constantly
the battle lines are drawn
I stand, I shoot, I turn around
watching fragments of me fall
All these shadows of myself
now lie bleeding on the ground
I'm screaming, wasit deep in this quicksand
although I can't hear any sound
Pain, misery and chaos
invade my head, my eyes , my ears
and my stregnth is slowly crumbling
corroded by my fears
I know there must be someway back
For I've been here before
but how and when I can't decide
I can't think, my heads too sore
So if there's anybody out there
please tell me where I am
I'm waist deep in this quicksand
and i sure could use a hand.
