Deep Breath

You know it.

You know it’s coming.

The walls fall away.

You are on a stage.

The whole world can see that you can’t cut it.

---

That feeling is filling you up.

Getting into your lungs.

You’re cornered, and there is no way out.

But, when a tiger is cornered,

that is when it turns deadly and attacks.

So, come to the surface now.

Take a deep breath,

and dive in again.

---

Survival instincts step in.

You start to move.

You are still alive and kicking.

This fear is grabbing at your ankles.

Trying to pull you back down.

But, you are never giving up this feeling.

You can’t go back on land now.

Not when you just started swimming.

You take a deep breath,

and dive in again.

---

To think that you thought that this was the end.

But they won’t get rid of you that easily.

The future is wonderful, wild and scary.

But, you’ll take a deep breath,

and you’ll dive in again.
