Description girl, should've watched yourself
in this swamp

standing in the mold
and you jumped right in
without any arms, any brains
to get out

baby girl, should've known yourself
better than that

but instead
you pushed yourself down
just to watch it
eat you up

like a sewer
soaking up shit

all there is to see
are the mistakes
floating among this
hell-covered mess

the sunlight
can't reach you here, girl
exactly what the disease
wanted to counteract

you're buried now
only to find that
the filth is feeding
your escape plan

pay attention, because
I'm running out of words;

I'm running
out of time

there's some awesome imagery in this--the second half, especially, does justice for the poem's title. a wonderful piece = ]
