When I was six years old,
My brothers and my cousin
Tried to teach me how to swim .
They did so by throwing me into a pool.
Immediately, my arms became two skinny
brown flailing distress signals.
I think I heard my brother say,
"I'll be in trouble if anything happens to him".
I remember them pulling me from the jaws of the liquid beast before it could devour me whole, that day was the day I almost gave up my life
To anyone brave enough to love me,
Do you know the human body is approximately
sixty percent water? When I walk in a room full of people, all I see is an ocean.
