This isn't easy. Feeling isn't something familiar to me, yet I'm standing in the center of a broken dam. Water rushing over me and flipping me from side to side. I'm suffocating with a grin on my face. Only so you don't ask if I ever learned to swim. Of course I have. No. No, I've never even let the tide kiss my toes. I breathe in to let the air in my lungs be replaced with this unfamiliarity. But I'll be ok.

Salt Water
This isn't easy. Feeling isn't something familiar to me, yet I'm standing in the center of a broken dam. Water rushing over me and flipping me from side to side.
