Bottomless Quicksand

Sometimes I wanted to run, and never come back
I didn’t care for me
My lungs getting air, but I wasn’t
Numb, so numb I couldn’t feel myself
It was splendid
It became a place I knew well, and I felt comfortable
No pain
Nothing, no one could hurt me anymore
I was happy.

I’m sorry for crying, I don’t mean to
I thought I knew happiness, but I didn’t
Please…
I don’t want to go back
Please don’t do this to me
I can breathe, I can feel
And I’m frightened
Please…
I’m sorry for crying, I don’t mean to
I never want to go back to that pool
Of bottomless quicksand

Most of the pools of quicksand have warning signs up all around it, if you know how to read them. Good poem.
