Battle- Scars

swimming

Swimming through molasses,
Its a hard and complicated process.
Slow, and if you're determined, surely.
But getting out is only half the battle.
Do you take your shoes -you so(u)le protectors- off? Seeing how they stick to the ground and slow you down.
Do you shed your layers -your comforts, your blankets, your shields-? They stick uncomfortably to your sides, and pick up stray things as your journey continues.
Molasses is sticky- sweet, but can be deadly.
Life is a lot like it.
