A Poem by atlas

the first step is all it takes
then you fall
quickly for about a second
and then your in the middle
it is the most peace i can ever have
then only thing up there is you
and in that middle
when you take your eyes off the ever approaching water
and see the horizon
the clouds and birds and just breathe
it feels like a million years floating and waiting for the 
stress of earth to bring you back
the screams of the people that want you back
but no
you want to
need to stay in the air for just a little longer
longer than they want
but shorter than you need 
and even when you're finally in the water
you don't even want to come up for air 
you want to stay in the surreal waves
even if your lungs ache 
you crave the life without 
these people
the life deep under water
or 
in-between the sky 
no one wants to come up for air
because it's easier to breathe down here.
