"Shark Girl"
Family tree of three
Daddy came & left
Mommy pushed & shed
Daughter saw & begged
(Shark girl)
Love all around
Living small
Hard making money in a town
One bed, one stove
Pocket really thin
Emotions hitting left to right
(batter up)
Strike,boom
Daddy where you at?
she pleads
she thinks
everytime she blinks
her mind links to the past time
(Shark girl)
Wrinkled cheeks patterend to a smile
Her eyes deceive the worst
She feels a family curse
She wants to cry and burst
but she crys and sleeps first...
Sixteen but a mind of nineteen
Lovely star struck
hooked on Mr. lonely
her heart is still roaming
humbelness is showing
Her eyes begin glowing
She cuts the green grass
An only child
all while,not so wild, pretty short
couldn't sort, couldn't port
Her uniqueness is worth more than a cureing diagnoss quart..
