Fear bundled up inside me, 

As I laid under the beach tree,

I know I can't stay forever,

I have to set myself free,

 

The sand underneath my fingers crunched,

I then tied my hair in a bunch,

Stood up to witness families in the cool blue water happier than ever,

Some families enjoying their sandwich lunch,

 

I can't believe I'm a coward,

Sat under that tree for hours,

Ignoring the ocean galore,

Just looking at the sand towers,

 

But still, 

I am afraid to swim
