'you looked so peaceful, gliding up and down the swimming pool'

growing up, i learned how to retreat into a separate world in my mind 

because it is more beautiful in here than it is outside 

i don't think i ever really left that world in my mind 

 i come here a lot, 

so i'm trying to make it somewhere nice to be 

it's becoming nice in here.

it's clearer 

and brighter

theres a lot of white light and sometimes I feel like i'm gliding 

it's still in here and quiet but i don't mind 

i'm quite a gentle person so it works well

i hope that i always have this space, this inner life 

even if it means i am hard to read, hard to understand or sometimes lonely i am always home in my mind 

and my home is still and white light is flooding in
