The water is my ally
It is the world that I can enter
It is the world that I can exist
As I feel weightless, free
Away from all of my responsibilities
Away from all of the stress
Just using simple focus
I count one, two, three, breathe...
And then I am back
Peering at the aqua sphere around me
I feel the most me here
Muscles spasming, heart racing
The time counts by one, two, three...
Goggles fogged, chlorine burns
The time counts four, five, six...
To the wall, my mind encourages
Just reach for the wall
Just lunge with everything left
Time stops.
This is when I get to be me,
This is when I get to be free.
