Nearly drowning

I woke up again

This time weirdly scared.

I remember that I am in

My grandma’s bed.

I change into normal clothes

And go downstairs to the kitchen.

I tell my grandma that

I had this weird dream.

I tell her that it was like 

I was drowning and saw flashes of

Color that reminded me of the koi 

Fish in her pond.

She tells me that it is

A memory. That it actually happened.

 That I accidently fell in the koi pond

Trying to feed the fish with my cousin.

And my dad saved me.

I look back and wonder

How am I not afraid of swimming in pools.

Yet I was scared of the ocean when I was younger.
