Today I smiled,
Today I laughed
Today I watched my moms beautiful face
As she laughed too
Today I had fun
Today I thought positive things
Today I was happy
And realized
I deserved it
I was always saying sorry
For things that were not my fault
Always putting other peoples problems
On my shoulders and tried to fix them
Always crying myself to sleep
Always wondering what I did wrong
But those days are gone, I think
Because the past is the past
And today is the present
And despite painful memories
Thing young women will move on
I know it will be hard
I know it will be a challenge
But I am always up for a challenge
It is my life
My heart and soul
It is just me, myself and I
Strong, independent and hopeful
And I know I am getting better
Because
Today I smiled
Today I laughed
Today I watch my moms beautiful face
As she laughed too
Today I had fun
Today I thought positive things
Today I was happy
And realized
I deserved it.
