Swimming

All is quiet. I float along in peace, nothing to disturb me. It's just me and my surroundings. My chest tightens and i'm out of breath, I kick upwards and come through the surface of the water. The sound of people returns to me as I gasp in air. People busily walking along, continuing along their normal routines oblivious to the noise they create that I hate so much. I plunge back into the water to repeat the cycle.
