Life Story of a Swimmer
Some call it love
while some say it's passion.
For some it's a hobby,
no more than a pastime,
but to me it is neither,
not a love nor a passion.
To me it is more,
it's a way to live life.
I live in the water,
I eat it, I breathe it.
It flows through my veins
and pumps through my heart,
racing to rush to each of my cells.
I crave it, I need it,
it's a drug to my system.
Without it I'm cold,
lifeless, lethargic.
It's the beat to my drum,
the the tick to my clock.
It's the way I live life,
in it, and out.
While it's vital to all life,
to me it is life.
To me it is home,
where I know I belong.
The water is me
and I am the water.
