I Swim
Everything around me fades.
I close my eyes,
Feeling my way to the bottom.
I push off the bottom,
And fly to the surface and breath.
I start pulling and kicking,
I forget the world around me.
I just swim.
Swim to forget.
The sound of the children splashing,
It quiets the world, for my thoughts.
Have you ever,
Wanted something so peaceful?
This feeling I get,
Makes me feel so tranquil.
As I swim,
Nothing can stop me now
It’s just me,
And the water.
It’s just me,
And the others.
It’s just me,
Against the world.
