Bottom looking up

by Danielle   Feb 11, 2007


I love it,
lying at the bottom of the pool,
the deep end is the best,
i look up and the blurry position of the lights seem to make sense.

i lay there, just looking,
i lay there just thinking,
i lay there wishing i could stay longer,
sadly i cant.

i love it,
it's silent,
it's beautiful,
but my breath is almost gone.

i feel at home here,
no one can touch me,
no one can hurt me,
my muscles are getting fatigue now.

i look around and see legs float by,
i see children playing in the distance,
then i see someone standing at the top looking at me,
my heart begins to beat, almost escaping from my chest.

just a little bit longer,
i dont want to go back to reality,
the person seems to be screaming something,
my head is beginning to get hazy, just a little bit longer.

i cant stay.

my heart is slowed,
my chest hurts,
my muscles limp,
i return to the surface, the reality i try to avoid.

    Wow. u wrote about something so original, i mean who would ever think to write about this, well done. i liked the ambiguity to ur poem, in someways it is very peaceful but in others there is a sad desperation about it, well done
