Dive

To Helena,

An insight into my mindset at some point during yr12. I hope you find it interesting :)

Much love,
Saricella

In an ocean of possibility,
Thirty, Forty, Fifty
Swim relentless
Against the tide
or with it
Flailing drown
or Stroke Perfection.

And in this ocean
Shallow clear
Deep potential,
I float.

Others dive into the deep,
The highest honour awaits them there.

Whilst I am stuck
Paralysis my house guest,
Never diving deeply,
My puppet strings pulling me to the surface
Then forcing me under.

And as I drown I do not sink,
Yet float,
Remaining forever my shallow self.
