Katrina

the winds tore through
the town i knew
the rains swept away
the good ol'times i know

how could this be
the friends i knew
had all left me
they dont know how i feel

katrina came and she shouted
she roared and screeched
we felt the pain
i was numbed by her

coming uninvited and unwanted
bursting down the door of my home
taking my mother along
and leaving me briused and hurt

couldn't you have had more mercy?
on the poor like me?
now i'm so far away from home
and far away from memories

katrina you didnt have to do what you did
taking mom, dad and siblings
katrina i'm too tired to feel angry
i'm too depressed to shout back

katrina's angry tears flood my driveway
my tears flow
i cant stop them
let me cry here
