This is a story of a girl, and how she came to be
let me take you back, back to the begining
her alcoholic father wasn't there to help her never-satisfied mother give birth
november 23,1987, she was born on this earth
their third child, second baby girl
"Katrina Marie" was the name her uncle gave her
her uncle lost all of his girl, must be a bad curse
father spoiled her rotten, or so they say
she ran and cried to daddy, they wouldn't give her - her way
she runs alone with the boys, "Daddy's Favorite"
never cared about sister, for she was the total oppisite
sister was always cleaning for mommy, but she thought it was by choice
Oh Boy! sister did something wrong, she can hear mommy screaming with an angry voice
she hated when mommy was mad, "Mean Machine" is what she called her
but mommy always wanted sister to stay home, guess thats who she prefered
That one night she ran to wake daddy, uncle and cousin are fighting
hurry daddy! already uncle is biting
she loved her daddy, for he would always make thing better
he would go to the ice cream shop, just for her, even in bad weather
First day of school, Boy what a day! she bit teacher, and to her daddy she ran away
Daddy told her to stay, finish school and make him proud, this she would do, without any fear or doubts
WOOHOO PARTY! lets go daddy......she watched as he played boxing with the boys
BAM! they got him right on his back, but she still loved him, even if daddy looked liked that
it was a party, so they partied all night long
she hugged daddy, he was so strong, looking at the special black dot on his chest
WOW DADDY! we have the same mark, we must be the best
that night they went home, "Whats wrong daddy?", She asked
he looked so hurt, and slipped on the third step fast
get up daddy, stop playing around, mommy looks so scared, why are you laying on the ground?
the big van comes, its called an ambulance they say
dont go with those men daddy, dont go, please stay
but her daddy went, and they all followed, mommy, sister, and her
brother stays with auntie, so he rode with her- their neighbor
WOW SISTER! look at the building with all the lights
they all went in, everyone, even auntie's and uncle's
such a big, nice building, but everyone looks so scared and sad, somethings not right
she had to go home, it was already late at night
they left the building that daddy was supposed to be in, they got to the parking lot, there was where it just had to begin
they said to come back up, to what they caleed a "waiting room"
she wondered where her daddy was, would he be here soon?
so up they went to the second floor, a place called "ICU"
the doctor told her family something and mommy lost it, she didn't know what to do
mommy ran to try to get to a room, but the man was blocking her, the man with a security suit
uncle had to hold mommy back, after she threw that man to the floor
mommy finally calmed down and everyone followed her, through the big wooden doors
she followed too, and everyone filled the room, crowding around a bed
she pushed her way through, and finally saw it, it was her daddy,
the doctor said they did everything they could, but her daddy was dead
she looked at him and wondered why the blood was leaking from his nose
cousin wiped it off, with a little white cloth
after that everything was a blurr, she wanted her daddy, but he wasn't there for her
she would sleep with mommy, but mommy would never look her way
mommy looks so sad, is it because she has daddy's face
WOW! today must be special she thought, to put on her pretty dress, her and cousin fought
she watched as mommy cried looking at a man in some kind of box, she got closer trying to see whats inside
she finally reached mommy, and took a peek, what she saw was her daddy, I FOUND YOU DADDY! why did u have to hide??
but daddy didn't respond, so she thought it was a game, she was so happy, but they wouldn't let her go around and play
the guys are taking daddy, wait daddy's playing a game with me she thinks, or maybe he's sleeping just let him stay
what kinda game is daddy playing she thought, as her and mommy rode in the long black car, the one that daddy had brought
but daddy's not driving, it's another man, she guessed daddy was playing that game again, now where could daddy be hiding??
the man finally stopped, at a place with a lot of flowers and dirt, they all got down, even mommy with her nice black skirt
wow the boys are carrying the box daddy was hiding in, i guess thats the game, if i find him first, i win
they all had a single rose, and a pretty ballon, they told her it was daddy's birthday today, she wonder's if she'll find him soon
finally they opened the box, and sang a song, she peeked inside and found daddy, why is he still lying there? its been so long
they close the box and put the flowers on top, she does the same, wait my daddy's in there! what is becoming of this game??
they start to lower the box, and release the ballons, NO! dont put the dirt on top of daddy he'll wake up soon
its only a game! or so she thought, she wanted to get to her daddy, so against her cousin she fought
why is everyone crying!? wheres daddy he'll make it all better, daddy always makes people happy, no matter what kind of weather
they all begin to walk away, everyone is still crying though, she screamed and shout, her daddy's still in there under the dirt, please dont go
but they all left her daddy, and they took her with them, what were they doing?? what did daddy do that now he is condemmed?
they went home that night, the night her childhood hand to end, for they said daddy was gone, he was now up in heaven
they told her to look at the stars, that he'll always be there for her, she looked at them with tears in her eyes, the pain she felt she wouldn't let go.....never
everyone left and the night was done, this was the end of her childhood-chapter 1
