Curiosity

Sometimes i wonder how deep the 
water is. Should i stay where's its 
safe and dry? Or dip my toes in for a 
test drive? If i like it I'd go a bit 
further and let it catch my knees, but 
it still doesn't satisfy my needs. Yes 
ill go further ill go out to the deep I'm 
feeling risky the water surrounds me. 
Cut off by the neck the water starts 
to wave,maybe i should go back 
where its safe and that's where i 
should've stayed? I turn my body 
'round and spot the shore ,stretch 
out my leg but slip and fall. As i go 
under i gasp for breath but all i 
breathe in is water. Im drowning,im 
sinking,what was i thinking? I 
should've stayed upon the shore and 
took in the scenery. "Let it be," the 
voices said and i woke up from that 
dream more alive as i could be no 
longer was i dead,but free.

Reminds me of the old cliche "Curiosity killed the cat". Actually, cats are very good swimmers. This is decently descriptive and coveys clear images to the minds of the readers.

Hi Alisha, I would like to extend my hand in welcome to the PoetrySoup community. There’s a lot to learn from each other here and hopefully you will have a great time while at it. I like how you've used the imagery of water - in our search for freedom we often delve into situations that are best left alone only to find that the answer was already within our grasp. Very well written! Feel free to drop me a line when you can. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Vicky.
