Water

By  May

I swim in the water. My mind is empty and my head is clear.

I live a troubled life; my dad died when I was seven,

and since then everything began to go down hill.

After that, my mom became an alcoholic.

Now I swim to relieve my pain.  

I got out; I had an urge to have a late night swim.

My mom said it wasn't good for me.

I disagreed; it was my "me time."

My hair was soaked; I was soaked from head to toe.

Every time I swam, I became one with the water.

I loved it, it was the place I went to when I had my sorrows.

I would relax; the water was my friend, Sort of.

My real best friend was Remy. 

She was always there for me; she felt the same way.

She also had a troubled life; that's why were so close. 

Finally I decided to go to sleep.
Then it happened. I had the same dream but different...

It started like always, my eyes would open, and I would be swimming. 

 But I was deeper under the surface.

 I panicked, I woke up.

 I was sweating, then I calmed down.

 I was finally at peace.
