A Story's Just A Story in the End

It was nineteen ninety six
when her father left home
her mother thought she could fix this
such pains she’d never know
 
A four year old, new father found
living in a strange old town
 
She made new friends at her school
her life, she found everything so new
 
It was year two thousand
when she heard the gun-shot sound
her mother began screaming, shouting
that new father, dead on the ground
 
An eight year old, a murder witnessed
she knew she may never get over this
 
It wasnt her mother, wrong place, wrong time
but three years later everything seemed fine
 
Year two thousand three, not much had changed
her sister left home, her father re-appeared
he took away her sister, her mother enraged
she’d grow up alone, fragile, and afraid
 
Her sister came home, her life in shards
their father ruined everything, he took this too far
 
A drunk and a loser, new girl every night
she still loved him but this wasn’t at all right
 
It was two thousand five, when the girl left alone
packed her bags, called her dad, left her mother now too
Ready to meet a man she’d never known
but little did she except to end up so screwed
 
Her dad, a new girl-friend, this one permanent
he packed all their bags, put their house up for rent
 
She hated that woman, the nazi she was
blond hair, blue eyes, german wench of the sun
 
Two thousand seven came quickly around
called her mother to come back home
packed a moving truck
still feeling all alone
 
All was well for a while, and then four years passed
but this repeating pattern, Im sure you could guess
 
These dysfunctional adults, that she had to raise
had taught herself to bottle her rage
 
Two thousand ten and she’s back with her dad
this wasn’t a choice, she was forced to go
Finances, home-life, everything was too bad
but then again, little did she know
 
Forced out on her own, for her father had lied
he never wanted her, she wished he would die
 
And it was all due to that woman, Hitler of this age
But she went peacefully, no longer caged

(2010)
