LIFE-JACKET

poem by: Fadrian Bartley
Written on Mar 01, 2018

I often times went into the sea
Without a life jacket
Judging the beautiful water by appearances
Depending on luck
I took few chances
And while I am in 
I worried about the risk I took to swim
Thoughts flood my mind
And they have voices whispering that all will be fine
I hope that is true
Because after a long swim
I felt I might catch the flu
I went in without cover up
Putting my trust in luck
Luckily it never had me swallowed up
Lessons taught I gravitate
Wearing a life-jacket for my own sake
