The pool of anxiety
August 7, 2022
The water was cold.
It was clear, mysterious.
I felt as if I was drowning.
Drowning in the sound of the voices in my head.
The color drains
Crumbling world around me
My lungs fill with water like
A kitty pool on a rainy day
The water saved me.
In the few minutes of silence.
From which I was holding my breath,
with my head under the water.
The water became warm
It gave my wandering mind peace
I could suddenly feel the air in my lungs
I wasn’t drowning
I was swimming

DUDE YOU HAVE SUCH A WAY WITH WORDS- i love that you wrote that you wrote it as finding peace in the water
Im a swimmer so the water relates to my sport. My English teacher helped me write it.
