Their once was a girl
Who had a heart made of gold
She smiled and laughed
But who would have thought she had a story untold?
She was in a family of four
A brother
A mother
A father
And her
Her parents thought they loved each other
As a soul mate would love a soul mate
But as time goes on they realized that’s not how life goes
The father had great debts to pay
So he promised after the divorce the mother would have nothing to pay
Who knew he was just an asshole in disguise?
He ran away after the divorce
Leaving the debt for her
For your child to know that her dad is a dickhead
Is an idiot’s accomplishment
It was a huge debt
That’s impossible to pay
But her mother tried
She worked endless nights
No matter how much she worked it never satisfied the expenses
The girl had tuition for school
The boy had high school to go to
They had a home to pay for
How can a single person pay for all that
And a debt with limited time to pay back?
So they ran away
From Korea to Canada
From everyone they knew
To a land where there was no one there for them
The girl was only in grade three
The mother worked two jobs a day
She moved here to there
The boy went into the Korean army
The girl had no one to tell
She envied those with their father
She wished she had a father that she could love
Not a father who her brother strongly hates
She didn’t remember her father
And her brother made it stay like that
Because who can forgive someone who made your mother’s life hell?
She gets pressure from her mom
She tries to meet her expectation
And she knows its because her mother doesn’t want her
To become like her
When you know your dad is an ass
And he left a debt to pay back
When you know he ran away
How can you trust another man ever again?
The girl needs to go back
A place where her mother needs to pay back a debt
That is not her own
She tells everyone it’s because of her mother
But who would know that its simply because
Her visa wouldn’t approve
There was once a girl
Heart made of gold
So please treat her fairly
Because no one knows she has a story untold
