I didn't mean to be Katie Kaboom.
I'm scared and confused as I sit in my room.
Please forgive me for not understanding.
In a forest of monsters is where I am standing.
I didn't mean to shout and scream.
I keep landing in a bad man's dream.
Please forgive me for my big feelings.
It's more than my childhood that man's been stealing.
I didn't mean to be so mad.
I'm just so tired of feeling sad.
Please forgive me for the way I behave.
I'm lost and alone, safe connection I crave.
I didn't mean to explode in anger.
My tummy hurts, as it fears danger.
Please forgive me for hoping you'll see,
The pain in my eyes as I long for safety.
I didn't mean to be Katie Kaboom.
I'm unable to flee as my predators loom…
