Diving Board

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.
