Swimmingly
Less weight, freedom to move, escape from heat
Are all things which I enjoy, at the pool.
Water, so bright, so clear, and so cool
Renews my life with a feeling so sweet,
Refreshing me from my head to my feet.
Along with the comfort, it can be cruel.
Returning to land always drains my ‘fuel’
Leaving me like one who’s suffered defeat.
Despite the heat and the effort it takes,
I must refuse to keep living my life
In seclusion. I will boldly advance
Facing my fears and risk making mistakes.
I know that I will face a lot of strife,
But I must live each day, holding my stance.
