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.
