Words Do No Justice

When I was younger and swam much more often than I wish I do now, I used to swim under the water and see how far I could go before I needed to come up for air. I remember almost passing out one time, I used to push myself so hard. I remember completing an entire length in a single breath, and smiling for the remainder of the day.

I'm holding my breath once more, gasping every few moments. It gets easier every time and I last always longer. In time I will make that entire length, and then I'll be okay.
