The Natural High

About this poem:
I wrote this poem to show people how I felt about swimming



The Natural High

Standing on the block, waiting for the start
I feel the rush, and it's all in my heart.
I want a good dive, I want a good turn,
It all starts here, I want it to burn!
Now I'm in the water, and I have one more lap,
I must reach for the wall, and close in the gap.
As I look at my time, I feel really good,
I look at my teammates, they share my same mood.
My coach is smiling, and then I confess,
It wasn't just me in the water...so were the rest
