Struggling to Breathe

Like oars of kayak did my arms play,

As calm over a bed of aqua lay.

Struggling for hours everyday,

To achieve tranquility immersed stay.

Ruptured a muscle pushing away,

Creating ripples from one end to another sway.

With Such adrenaline rush,

Made my heartbeat flush

To scary heights and I slow down.

Taking deep breaths I begin countdown.

Off again to other end,

A technique till tolerance transcend.

Thus am I draining energies in waters blue,

Training for something I have no clue.

Yet my sweat and struggles,

Help me jump over puddles.

Perched high have I scrolled,

Repercussions when mysteries unfold.

Ready to take a plunge,

Flipping headlong in grunge.

My fingers crossed did I roll

dice,

Without any sprinkle of spice.

All set am I for this journey,

With higher powers my attorney.

Remember me as daughter of a soldier,

Whose pat I had on my shoulder.

The fewer friends that I have,

Know what I am about to sacrifice.

And when no more among you,

Keep me in prayers,my friends true.
