take a deep inhale
a last look at the surface
hold your breath
push yourself off the board with your toes
plunge head first into the water
are you still holding your breath?
pull your knees closer to your chest
curl yourself into an underwater ball
are you still holding your breath?
open your eyes
feel the ripples on your skin
are you still holding your breath?
unfurl yourself from your fetal position
allow the buoyancy of the water
to carry you up to the surface
allow the air to rush into your crying lungs
and oxygen had never felt so good
