Disasterous -- Trevor Depugh
Dear God, what is going on?
Is this your work? Is this what you do?
Just when life is getting good,
You turn it all to hell...
Dear God, I trusted you,
How could you let us all be hurt again and again,
Mommy and Daddy are fighting,
Worse and worse than ever before.
I cry every night, but no one knows.
Mommy's lost in the computer,
Lost in her own world.
I tried to talk to her last night,
But she didn't hear me...
Finally I just walked away.
Dear God, Daddy's missing,
He disappears for days on end,
When he comes back, it's like he's somewhere else,
He talks about this girl,
This girl who use to be my friend.
She's older than me, but I never thought she was like that.
Dear God, they all make my head confused,
they have got my emotions all screwed,
Brother says it'll be okay,
I'm scared, I throw up every day.
I keep getting sick, and I bleed all the time,
My tummy hurts and I feel like I'm gonna die.
Dear God, what is going on?
Brother hushes me to sleep each night,
He wipes my stray tears away,
He tells me to be strong,
And promises that soon we'll be gone.
Dear God, can we please be gone?
Let Brother take me away.
He talks about our future,
A future that gives me hope...
