Swim

by Lily - Leo

I’m sitting here and dozing
my eyes are no longer bloodshot
and everything is clearer
I remember swimming earlier today
the water was thick when I dove in
to swim to the top seemed impossible
I pulled and grabbed
ripped and shredded
twisted and turned
yelled and kicked
and then I was out
I sat and looked at the water
I crept my way to the edge
peered over and thought
about when I would have to swim again
