The Bottom of the Pool

Somewhere at the bottom of the pool Beautiful shimmers of blue light and water Holding my breath and wondering… Can I ever make it to the top again? My arms are so heavy and there are little black dots across my vision Staying would be easier People swimming above; playing on the surface don’t even know I’m here I am invisible – I close my eyes.
