Into the Water
Crashing and splashing
Diving and flipping
Pulling and kicking
My favorite thing to do
An endless black line
Never seemed so divine
As I push through the water
Focused and hurting
The painful lane lines
Stroked red and white
Guide me on my path
My path to success.
That moment
When you hit the water
Adrenaline rushing
Ice pouring through your veins
25 yards
Never seemed so long
As I raced through the blue
Eager to reach the wall.
Heart pumping
Arms swinging
Legs fluttering
Brain blank.
I am ready.
