Just One More Day
Lost to sea, drifting away
Make it through, just one more day
Have to keep my head above the water
Oh say it isn't so, I truly am my mother's daughter
Reaching out, throw a lifeline
All this pain, wish it weren't mine
Holding on, strong and true
For my sisters I'll make it through
Back under the water I go
Oh my darling, I love you so
I hate the tears in your eyes
So for you, for them, I claw my way back to the sky
Even when I can't stand this pain
I force myself to stay
Lost to sea, drifting away
I'll make it through, just one more day

beautifully written piece
@Sweetgirl07 This poem is deeply moving and beautifully written. The line "Lost to sea, drifting away" perfectly captures the feeling of being overwhelmed, yet there's such strength in the repeated hope to "make it through, just one more day." The line "for my sisters I'll make it through" — is such a powerful testament to resilience and love. And the line "I truly am my mother's daughter" feels so loaded with meaning, carrying a heavy significance that resonates not just with the author, but with millions of women across the world. It speaks to that defining relationship, for better or for worse, that shapes us all in unique ways. Truly a heartfelt piece.
