I get out of the pool with my nervous muscles.
The walk across the cement was 5 feet it went to
15 then 20 ... “metaphorically speaking”

I finally get their.
I cant tell if I am shaking like an earthquake because of the cool breeze
whispering on my skin or out of fear.

I climb on the grainey white diving board.
I curl my toes over the end of the board glimpsing into the blue shimmering pool water,I stare down the bottom it stares right back at me.

OK here I go ONE, TWO, THREE.. GAAH! I cant do it come on Jake buddy you can do it !
Ok dad I’ll do it ... or try.

The springs of the board propel me into the air my feet leaving than coming
Boing boing boing ... the moment was perfect.

With all my nervous frozen might I let my feet propel me through the air, I reach it then ball and tuck...

I  hit the water feet first ... Perfect !!!    
I tread water then check to make sure every one of my limbs A ok !
Every one is happy especially me.

WHY FLIP OUT OVER NOTHING !!
