I'm stuck in quicksand


I slowly sink
"I must not move"
So I think
"The more I move the more I sink."

"But if a stronger man I were
I'd surely crawl right out
But If I tried to toss and stir
I'd be swallowed about."

Should I sit and wait for the end?
Should I fight despite the loss?
Either way, I would descend.
Oh, to try or cut my loss?

If I only could withstand.
