Holston
There's a lake where I used to live
I used to swim there with my friends.
Dark, murky water blurred my vision,
Monsters lurked beneath.
I wasn't scared.
It was home.
I'd swim out until I couldn't stand,
Free and floating
Unafraid and careless.
My friends grew old and left,
I stayed.
One day I'll venture back out
And join the family that's still there.
