I’m drowning in the quicksand,
Unable to make a decision,
Lacking ability to get to the land,
Leaving me without precision.
My surroundings feel blurry,
The darkness swallowing my mind,
I am in such a dire state of worry,
That I cannot seem to unwind.
That woman constantly provoked,
Landing me in such a disaster,
I rely on God’s power to be invoked,
So that I can finally celebrate Easter.
