Sinking

I walk on,

carrying my cross, my stone, my burden
slogging through endless mire,
ever deeper

but i walk on

death would be a welcome release,
a rest from my endless task
ever harder

still i walk on

deeper and deeper into this horrid land
up to my neck in sludge
ever filthier

and yet i walk on

over my head, now the sun is gone,
no lights to lead the way
ever darker

walking one walking on

i beg for release, for rest ans i suffocate
in over my head for so long now, and no one notices
ever unseen

I walk on

though i so badly wish to rest

this brought the death of christ to mind...to carry your own death on your back, that's a burden. Depressing...and frustrating, something about the persistence and all we do is go in circles. good write *~seraphic~*
