I hate my new baby!
I hate the name Katie!
She's always the big shot, no fair!
She burps, and they smile!
I burp, they say, "Kyle!"
I figure they just do not care.
She says the word "No," and they clap and take pictures
I say the word "no!" and they give me a lecture!
When I get the right chance I'd go up and I'd wreck her!
We went to the mall and Katie was crying
I tried to ignore her and thought of her dying
That thought made me happy and I went home smiling
Just right when I saw what my parents were filing
They printed more pictures and pictures of Katie
They even had pictures with my smiling dog Sadie!
I felt stabbed inside that my family betrayed me.
I sniffled in sadness and walked out the door.
They didn't need me, Katie gave them much more.
She gave them happiness, she gave them joy.
But me? Well, I'm just like those plain old shelf toys.
Not one of those pictures had any existence of me.
It took me this long till I could finally see,
This family, well, people...they didn't need me.
I took one last glance at the house I once lived in.
I pictured my old dad smiling, saying, "Finally! Good riddance!
The boy finally learned that we can't pay for his rents."
He'd watch as I sadly walked away from their fence.
