What do you have to remind yourself of every day?

I remind myself everyday
That I am not giving up
I am not your ashtray
Do not tell me to chin up
I just need to get through Monday
I am not your buttercup
My body is not your field day
Act like a grownup
I just need to get through Tuesday
I will not be a temporary hookup
This is not child’s play
I do not need to clean up
I just need to get through Wednesday
I will not drink from your cup
I'm not some prey
Please sober up
I just need to get through Thursday
You need to back up
I have nothing to repay
I'm not paying up
I just need to get through Friday
We're breaking up
I'm done being on display
Nothing you do will make up
I got through Saturday
I don't need to cover up
I'm finally going on Broadway
I think I'm going to be the runner up
I got through Sunday
My head is high up
I'm no longer gray
I broke free and now I'm finally seeing all the freedom that was taken away from me.
