Not Drowning In The Mud

I climb out while I let you sink.

No!

I’m not drowning in the mud,

No longer a victim of my past,

I just let you sink deeper,

Until you exist no more.

I climb up and up,

Until I reach the top,

I find a way,

While you stay at rock bottom in the filth.

I climb out,

While I let you sink.
