I'm at the pool,
Waiting in line to go on the diving board.
And wanting to jump in.
Everyone has a way to escape life's problems,
My way is swimming.
It is finally my turn - I don't have to wait in line,
I get on the stairs and look up.
In front of me, I see what appears to be my potential and my faith.
I feel like the queen of the world, but soon it disappears.
I cannon ball into the pool,
The cold water hits my face.
That's what I call a reality check.
