Below

One of the things that keeps coming into my head is,
You know when you're a little kid, and you jump into the pool, and you're so excited
And you just can't wait to swim around
And you find this whole new space where you're a little bit weightless
And it's harder to keep your body down
But you still wanna try so hard to sit at the bottom of the pool

You just wanna have this moment where
All the time spent fighting gravity pays off
And you're able to live in this place of suspension and weightiness
And it keeps making me think about a quote that
One of my friends says is his absolute favorite
"It takes more muscle to drown, than it does to float"

To do this you have to control your breath
You have to make sure that you're thinking about how much you exhale, how much you inhale
But your body betrays you, you're naturally buoyant
And then when we're in the water, we're not heavy enough to sink
All it wants to do is keep you up by the surface
We're never able to defy it totally or completely succumb to it, so we're just left there to float

Suspended beneath, searching for balance between sinking and floating
