Breath Taking


We all swim in the same ocean,

We learn to swim or sink and those who swim experience beyond thier knowledge.

Those who swim have the courage to dive deeper,

and it's breath taking.

It takes their breath away, both physically and mentally.

And even after that, they have courage to keep swimming at their darkest moments.

More courage than those who swim in the same circle because they fear of drowning.

With little to no courage they swim, hoping, hoping it won't be the last time they see the beautiful ocean they call home.

In a matter of seconds their beautiful ocean turns into thier hurricane.
With plenty of oxygen they end up drowing, in their own fear.

Not waiting for the rainbow that comes after the storm..
