deep sea diving

i never thought i could swim
i was always afraid of water
until i learned it was okay
and found myself
at the bottom of the ocean
i swam
i let myself go
i went deeper and deeper
it was too beautiful for words
until the water got cold
and i was surrounded
by darkness
and sank
i had to let go
i had to swim up for air
i'm breathing again
thankful
for what i saw
and how it felt
to have my breath taken away
