Diving into a draining pool.
I take my leap like all the others
Into this small, yet oh-so-large
Brand new place-
-I’m feeling smothered.
“Take deep breaths,
Just practice your swimming.”
I swim as I please,
Don’t you kick water in my face,
******* er, silly)!
I’ll float on my back,
Just glide with ease,
In wait for that one day,
When I reach the drain.
The water’s deep now,
Shallow it will gradually become.
I’ll sink,-
-no air in my lungs.
But I’ll live,
I’ll make it through,
And their faces will fade.
Ones I "loved" so much,
suddenly insignificant.
One day for sure,
This pool will be gone.
I’ll just have to wait until it’s my turn.
