Today is the day - Courtney

I put my toes in the water

It is too cold.

Another day, I tell myself.

I’ll come back another day.

The water reaches my legs.        

Each step I take the water numbs my legs a little bit more.

Another day, I tell myself.

I’ll come back another day.

The water reaches my stomach.

It’s not as cold today

The water is easier to swim

But I’m not ready.

I’m not ready to go all the way under.

Another day, I tell myself.

I’ll come back another day.

Today’s the day.

No more waiting

Thinking

Procrastinating

I dive head first into the water

I can easily overcome the cold

I swim easily to the other side of the lake

No more waiting

Thinking

Procrastinating

Today was the day
