i said i wanted to learn to swim
so you threw me into the deep end.
i made it to the edge again
exhausted & weary, barely breathing.
when i said let’s do this more slowly
you threw me into the ocean blue
the waves took me under
i struggled & struggled
disoriented, i swam downwards
unable to following the rising bubbles
overwhelmed, i felt myself drowning
you didn’t see me struggle; ignored pleas to slow down
caught in a riptide, cast out to sea
i wondered, did you ever hear me?
drowning, my please to learn to swim
escaped my lips as gurgles & bubbles
maybe i need a new instructor
one who doesn’t leave me drowning…

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there.
~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C.

A strong write. You can really feel the angst in this piece. You will swim and when you do you can throw yourself in the water without any fear. Be well.
