The Chance I Took Has Taken Me Poem by kyle potter

The Chance I Took Has Taken Me



The chance I took has taken me

Up so high so far I could see
Looking down on the swimming kids
Then I took my chance
I hopped once, again
Then jumped
Falling
The rush of such a sweet surrender

Then I slipped under
Feeling weightless, numb almost
Like nothing mattered there
Keep going down, deeper
Run out of air
There is no up, or down
Even if I tried to find my way back to the surface, who will take my hand and pull me back up?
My darkest time
Nothing matters
Nothing keeps me wanting more
The chance I took has taken me
