Breathability

You.
You prefer the shallow water
With solid ground at your feet
You prefer to be close to shore
Where you can easily retreat.

You're incapable
Of swimming far
Because you lack the skills
You're afraid
Of diving deep
Because for you, it kills.
Unlike you I have the skills
I am capable of diving
Unlike you I have gills.
I am prone for surviving.
So if you wish
To swim in the shallows,
Just please don't hold you're breath,
For I have gills
I willingly swallow,
Unafraid of death.
