Read the Poem "High Dive" and then answer the prompt that follows.
High Dive
My stomach is communing with my toes
My legs - boiled noodles having no will to support
I force one foot up
then the other.
I hold fiercely to the hand rails
as I climb slowly.
The voices of my fear screech their warnings,
"Don't go! Don't go!"
Pushing my fear behind me, I step onto the board.
It quivers alive - mirroring my quaking legs.
I struggle cautiously to the end;
Cementing my feet, I lean precariously forward
and peer into the depths below.
The twinkling eyes of the ripples catch my frightened stare;
The crystalline nymphs implore me,
"Just fall forward! Stretch out your fingers. We will catch you!"
I almost believe leaning ever nearer
Then - fear grabs me.
"Don't do it! It's too far!"
The voices do battle;
I'm caught in between!
Suddenly a new voice enters the fray.
"If you're gonna jump, jump! You're holding up the line!"
I turn, aware that several bodies block my escape.
I look to the right and see my friends beckoning far beneath me.
I lock my fear away,
Place my arms over my head
and fall forward.
My fingers slice the surface
I plunge into the quiet depths
Hearing the whispers around me
"You did it! You did it!"
I emerge - smiling -
The nymphs victorious
Fear slinks away.
I leave the pool and walk back with gained confidence to where my journey began.
