Float

I feel the water
surrounding my head
pushing, crushing, keeping me down.

I feel the water
against my legs
as I kickkickkick to reach the surface.

Through the blue
I see faint traces of white light
taunting me, just out of reach.

As I near the top
where I will be able to breathe
another wave comes down
and I too am down once again.

This endless cycle of kick and push
may discourage some
but it just keeps me going.

One day I will break the waves
and i will float.
