Have you ever tried swimming in mud?
The rank darkness blinding your eyes.
Can’t see clearly.
Everything’s a blur.
Have you ever tried swimming in mud?
Pushing against the glooping thickness.
Takes too much energy to move.
Strength that I don’t have.
Have you ever tried swimming in mud?
Heaviness fills your heart, your lungs.
Fighting to survive.
Easier to drown.
