Water Poem by Ashley Horstman

At the starting line
Jumping in
I break the water
It slides over my body
I feel weightless
Moving my arms I get tired
The water pushes me up
I need air
Breaking through the top
I gasp for air
Putting my head under I get a burst of energy
I fly through the water
I pass up all the other girls
When I get to the other side I feel powerful
I just won
The crowd is roaring
But I hear nothing
The one person I wanted to see was not there
