Behind the door, the water gleams,
a world of happiness, a place of dreams,
But fear whispered softly, “Stay away. What if you sink? What if you die?”
Behind the door, the water roars,
the depths unknown, they call for lure,
splash on my heart, provoke an endless test,
Should I pass with courage? Can I do my best?
Behind the door, the water flows,
breath by breath, I learn to go,
of backbone and attempt, the fear started to fade,
I’m moving forward, I’m not afraid,
Behind the door, I find the thrill, the pace, the power, the chill,
Behind the door, I find my way, floating and gliding; I’m here to stay.
Behind the door, the water roars,
the depths unknown, they call for lure,
splash on my heart, I rise and soar,
I dive in deep, the fear is cured.
