How do you keep going on?

When all you want to do is stop.

It’s all happening so fast.

And yet nothing is happening at all.

I am stuck in the mud.

And it is quickly swallowing me whole.

My heart hurts.

My soul is tired.

My body is used up.

And I am just done.

I can no longer continue to live this life.

I can no longer continue to sink in the mud.

With just enough of my head left above.

So I can breathe and suffer longer.

I need to get out and I just don’t know how.
