Dive Don't Drown

I used to dive to escape…

Now I dive to arrive.

I ain't drownin' in thoughts no more —

I'm makin' waves they can't handle.

Hands out, chest first — that's Presence,

Dive off edge like I leap from tension.

Ain't no flinch, just form, precision,

I land in the deep like I own this Mission.

Hotel pool, but I move like legend,

Body in air, mind in heaven.

She lookin' like "Damn," but I ain't Even flex,

That's just me, reclaimin' my breath.

No lifeguard needed, I been through Worse,

Dove through pain, now I'm splashin' In worth.

Let the ripples talk while I float in Peace,

Used to dive and hope — now I dive And feast.

Cold hit skin, but the heat internal,

Every stroke move like I passed Through hurdles.

Ain't no fear — I left that on shore,

I dive like a man who ain't run no More.

Dive, don't drown — that's the code Now,

Splash loud in a world that broke Down.

They want soft, I bring steel in the Wave,

Head up, chest out, I bathe in brave.

Dive, don't drown — yeah, I bend That pool,

Used to sink, now I bend the rules.

No panic, no flail — just king in the Deep,

If the silence come back, I put it to Sleep.

She watched me dive — thought I Dove for her,

But I dove for the man I prefer.

The one that don't fold, the one that Don't beg,

The one who rise with water on leg.

Tulum sky above, tile cold below,

But in that flight, I let purpose show.

Can't fake courage when the edge this Close,

One wrong move and it's spirit or Ghost.

But I ain't ghostin' — I'm boastin' Mid-air,

Ain't no shame in that hotel glare.

Bartender watchin', she's sippin' Slow,

But I'm the ripple that steal the show.

Used to fear the dive — now I make It art,

Still broken inside, but I move like a Spark.

Told that pool, "You ain't takin' me Today,"

Then I sliced through the blue like I Carved my way.
