Diving is a Choice
It is as if hooks sink into the corners of my mouth and while it looks to you as if they pull up
Gravity overcomes and yanks them down
And all the colors are slapped onto my face and I feel like a clown
Yes I am doing just fine and yes this and that is always on my mind
But you think I'm a girl and she thinks I'm a man
I think I'm a nothing and I have no plan
I'm neither this nor that
I don't fit in that pond or your lake
The ocean is far too deep for all of you and I'm welcoming the lack of air
And you wanting me to come out of the water requires me to care
I wish you would all just dive in
So you would see how salty and cold it really is
And why I think you're lying when you say
The water you're in is just fine
