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.

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.

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.

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
