3rd in the 'Believe It Or Not 2001' competition

She breathes like a drowning fish
Slowly sinking to the bottom,
She thinks about her life
And sinks lower.

She thinks about the pain she feels,
And sinks even lower.
She dreams her dreams,
And slowly starts to rise,
She thinks about all the
Magical things that could happen,
She rises higher.

Then she thinks how this
Could never be,
And slowly sinks to the bottom.
