The slight indentations on my paper

Were a tribute to how much I actually wrote

Broken down

Paragraph by paragraph

As I submitted the paper

A compilation of lengthy words

Displayed through a series of characters 

In jet black ink

The weight came right off my shoulders

I was free

Free to come home and relax

Free to spend time with my friends

Without the creeping thought of a due assignment

Free to reward myself that day

Which I did

With a big scoop of ice cream

This freedom

Was the freedom I felt

While swimming among the vibrant fish

Under the clear waters 

With the glowing sun covering me

Like a warm blanket

I was free to move 

In a foreign environment

I felt like I was floating 

But when I came back up

I was quite literally floating
