Denizen Of The Mire

I stepped in when I was young
Didn't mean to
Just happened
My best friend had left me

The other foot soon followed
I swear I didn’t want to
Just happened
I realized people didn't respect me

I waded in up to my knees
Wasn't on purpose
Just happened
I was lonely

The muck is up to my waist
Didn't want to
Just happened
They left me alone with a knife

I am up to my neck in slough
Not necessarily my fault
Just happened
My pessimistic side took over

I'm stuck now in this mire of depression
Didn't mean to
Just happened
