I need to learn to swim
But the water's too cold
I'm scared to jump in
I'm praying no one will push me in before I'm ready
But there are the hands
Warm upon my back
Shoving me closer
Closer to the edge I have seen so many times before
This time I'm weak
And those hands are so strong
One more step
And I'm falling through the air with no one there to catch me
Praying for a miracle
Hoping its a dream
But it feels so real
And I know there's no way out this time around
Unless you're there to catch me
Unless you're there to save me
Before my time is up
Before I crash into the cresting waves
Broken, not my the fall, but by my disappointment

The waves wash over me
Sand filters through my fingers
I survived the fall
But will I survive the next one?

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

Great job here and I liked this one. You'll survive the next way just stay positive!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Sorry you guys!  That link wasnt supposed to be there.  I have a poetry website, and I just copied and pasted it off of there, instead of retyping.  Oopsie daisy!!!
