***
I remember the day I realized I wanted to live
When I fought so hard to survive
Though I was pushed farther into the water
I fought so hard to still be my mother's daughter
He wanted to end me
I have every reason to guarantee
The way his rough hand Clenched my hair
To all the other things he showed he would dare
At that moment I also forgave my father
Cause that day I met a real monster
But I knew I wanted to end that day with me being a survivor
I didn't want to die
All the days before that one I was living a lie
I wanted life
I wanted life
And that trauma Will never let me forget
