Feet dangle waiting upon the
edge
Precarious body goes no further
This fear etched in my mind
Boundless possibilities lie ahead
But movement keeps me motionless
Unknown world awaits outside the door
Trauma keeps me bound to lifeless living
Deep end shivers darkness abound
Beneath it lies freedom to exist
Swimming never my forte
Dying too young loses appeal
Fear of taunts is lackluster pursuit
Wish there to be a stir or something
Stillness is agonizing in my depths
Waves never occur without motion
Life is found in the abyss
Toe dips to begin the ripple effect
