Maybe
Today is the day
I'll rise to the surface
And breathe
Finally filling my lungs
With clean air
All my fighting to reach the surface
Finally bearing fruit
Or maybe
Today is the day
I'll sink even deeper
Closing my eyes
And resigning myself
Into the depths
Knowing I won't ever break free
From all of this water
Drowning in emotions
It's the same today
As any other day
And I don't think
I'll laugh
And find that spark
That will set me free
And make me want to fight again
All of my fight left
When I released you from my grasp
Knowing that I was saving you
And damning myself
Made it easier
But it didn't make it hurt
Any less
Maybe
Today is the day
