Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take risks.
As I stand there preparing I'm wearing a face staring off into my own world The board flexing and bouncing the announcer announcing its my turn In my head I'm thinking will I succeed or will I burn As I walk I think of every correction, all directions my coaches gave me I go and it went well but you still can't tell with the judges opinion But as I dive deep into oblivion everything fades.. The dive the meet how I should compete my team my coaches the approaches the world around me, everything As I'm in the water looking around I forget everything. I feel the peace I have tried to reach and as the calm comes I am finally at rest There is no test in the water deep below, you can be whatever you wish nothing bestowed That is the reason I love to dive, that's why I strive.

When I hit the water
Through my eyes I see every thing differently. What you see straight I see bent, you see black and white, I see colors left and right. What you see I see differently, I am unique in each of my critiques of all my pieces. God gave me this so we can have options, so I can give opinions, so there can be petitions, competitions, additions & all sorts of traditions. We're all given a choice & my choice is to inspire the world.

Through my eyes
With your love I finally fly. Your love lifts me up above the skies,   I float so gently that I don't need to try. With your love I can't breathe, the oxygen gets clouded underneath. With your love the world is mine to conquer. To twine "mine" into "ours" with our love nothing is impossible.

Your Love
My fear lingers behind I'm unable to rewind time from when it begun. Thus fear follows me like a shadow on a sunny day, And the only way to escape is to walk through darkness
