Breathing Underwater
February 28, 2009
Do you remember what it was like?
Dodging the waves
Oblivious to those who got swept away
Not caring because we were dry
Indifferent to the problems of others
Until the water was real
And then our wounds were real
The saltwater licking at our cuts
Do you remember when we realized?
We didn't have to break the surface
We were strong
We could adapt
We could breath underwater
