It was stupid. Waves crashed and the wind was cold. I shivered and i wanted to change my mind could i back out now I grabbed the hand next to me and we ran and we jumped it was fast but slow the air was cold for a second until the water hit. there was no feeling I was under the water thinking was gone and my lungs did the talking screaming to my mind “get up get out you air, now, now” i open my eyes and i can see black and blue and the water is over my head the bubbles and curls and waves of the water break away as my head is pushed up. i gasp at the air and fill my lungs with the hot gas of life. my limbs and body have become weights but i dont sink I push my body through the water and it takes all the strength i have when i reach the ladder I grasp with a hand i cannot feel i stand with my feet and the journey up that ladder takes two lifetimes then i'm up it is the coldest i have ever felt I run and i breathe you never know what being alive feels like until you feel like you are almost done being alive it was very very stupid suddenly everything was hot air was hot ground was hot my skin my eyes my dripping wet hair hot hot hot hours passed of feeling hot and cold and breathing it's strange to think that something so stupid made me feel so strong

When I Jumped
It was stupid. Waves crashed and the wind was cold. I shivered and i wanted to change my mind could i back out now I grabbed the hand next to me and we ran and we jumped it was fast but slow the air was cold for a second until the water hit. there was no feeling I was under the water thinking was gone and my lungs did the talking screaming to my mind “get up get out you air, now, now” i open my eyes and i can see black and blue and the water is over my head the bubbles and curls and waves of the water break away as my head is pushed up. i gasp at the air and fill my lungs with the hot gas of life. my limbs and body have become weights but i dont sink I push my body through the water and it takes all the strength i have when i reach the ladder I grasp with a hand i cannot feel i stand with my feet and the journey up that ladder takes two lifetimes then i'm up it is the coldest i have ever felt I run and i breathe you never know what being alive feels like until you feel like you are almost done being alive it was very very stupid suddenly everything was hot air was hot ground was hot my skin my eyes my dripping wet hair hot hot hot hours passed of feeling hot and cold and breathing it's strange to think that something so stupid made me feel so strong
