Master Mind Poem By Nahna James Poem by Nahna James

Dolphin or shark?
Make a decision.

To breathe;
A dolphin must rise to the surface every now & then;
A shark must continue swimming if it wants to fill its gills;
Regardless of what happens.

If you want to breathe, you must choose one;
If you want to live, you must choose one;
I told myself that I couldn't, but not breathing isn't really an option.

I asked myself, 'How do I do it? '
How do I continue to breathe;
or
How do you stay alive?
