Diving In The Deep

I dissolve in the water with a splash,

My life comes to my eyes with a flash,

Everything goes still as stone,

As I say goodbye to memories I used to cherish and hone,

I watched the bubbles float out of my mouth,

As I slowly drift south,

Thoughts as sharp as a knife,

Stab me as I bid goodbye to my life ,

I hear my lungs scream for air as my jumper weighs me down,

As I remember all the memories of my home town,

Aching, my eyes burn

As my empty stomach continues to churn,

Finally I gently close my eyes,

And awake, cold with baby cries;

So I shut my mouth and smile again,

Because from this day I start following a new lane.
