Swim


I was told swim is a complicated sport

I was told my time is good

but I felt that the 35 seconds could be a 32

people ask why I do swim

i do swim because of the rush you feel after your heat

something about being in the water 

no one depending on you

just you and your thoughts 

the feeling after you had a 2 hour practice 

to a 2 hour afternoon practice 

the feeling I could overcome 

the complicated sport of swimming 

is the feeling I never want to forget
