To Conquer the Day
I know every day
I'll greet him once more
But when I see his face
I want to run away
Disrespectful
Retarded
Lazy
Dependent
Am I really all these things?
I'm not sure I can take it
But I wake up every day
With a smile on my face
My boyfriend will call
Commending me for my grace
When I share my worries
My mom will beam and say
"You're the best daughter
I could have asked for"
And I smile
And go on
And conquer the day
Knowing I have my loved ones
To guide my way
My father cannot control me
As I see the finish line
I will make a positive impact
Even he cannot undermine
