Every lap I swam
every breath I took,
every time I kicked
every time I pushed off
just made me want to drown.
The bubbles floated up,
the water splashed,
water in my goggles,
and up my nose,
I wanted to let it all in.
What happens when
the thing you love,
turns into the worst
thing that ever happened to
happened to you?
