I have always had this irrational fear
I would look at water and think I’m drowning
It’s not that I’m scared of the vastness of the sea
But I’m rendered weak under its calling

Every lap of the waves echoes my name
Like a treasure, luring me closer with its shining
Maybe there is no such thing as irrational fear
Perhaps I have just been waiting for the right timing

With shaking fingers, I pull myself above the fence
Time blurs, the seconds stretch right before I dive in
I think I always knew it would come to this
So, I’m no longer afraid as I breathe the water in
