The last line
You can see the blue water in front of you
You can smell the humid, hot air in the swimming hall
Then you jump into the water, with the hope you can finish the last line
You are totally out of power, out of breath
But every time when you move your head out of the water
You can see your coach standing outside of the swimming pool screaming at you
Everything is pressing down on you it feels like you had to carry the weight of the earth on your Shoulders
Trouble, stress, pressure
You are scared, scared that you don’t have enough energy to finish the last line
That the pressure which is pushing down on you,
Is breaking you, breaking you into pieces, like a puzzle
The taste of chlorine water is filling your mouth
Every muscle hurts
And then your hand is touching the wall
You did it
