I'll Become Something Better

You push me down under the water,
knowing I was your only daughter.
I struggled and cried,
you knew I always tried.
My eyes burn,
because you never learned.
I suffered,
I thought I could get tougher.
My smile ripped from my lips,
you kick more into my hips.
Someday I will rise,
forget about all those times.
Maybe I will revive.
Hopefully it will be tonight.
