The Story of the Girl

Weightless

Have you ever jumped off of a diving board?

If you have then you know that feeling you get right after you jump. Right before you hit the water

The feeling of weightlessness

That one split second were everything just freezes

Were everything is right in the world

If you think that this poem is going to be as nice and uplifting as feeling weightless, You were wrong

This poem is about after you hit the water

After you are surrounded by water

It's about that moment when you are no longer weightless

It's when you struggle to come up from air

When you feel the weight of water crashing around you

When you try and swim up to the surface but get turned around

You go the wrong way

Instead of going up you head deeper into the water

Your lungs are burning

Your head is pounding by the weight of the water and lack of oxygen

You no longer feel weightless

Instead you feel the exact opposite

This is what life is

T

When you think you finally have everything figure out and everything is amazing you fall into the water and are no longer weightless
