Change

I stood on the beach, toes gripping on to the rough crunchy sand looking at the rumbling waves crashing down on the gentle water. Bright sun rays shooting out the sun like an eclipse moon covering the sun.

Walking in to the cold ankle deep water as it swishes with every step I take in to the endless pool of water where I will soon live. “Nothing left for me now” I think to my self. “What am I going to lose?”.

My legs tired of treading water and hands starting to cramp as I keep myself above the water surface. I am beginning to ask myself “What am I waiting for?”. I was waiting in the water for something
