Chair Umpire - Laura

Its Tuesday morning at 8 AM
My mom comes in to wake me up
She says pack your bags we have to go
We'll try to make our way east
We load the car with Milo in the back
And it's starting to rain we already feel it
We stop in Jennings to bring some food
To my godmother who's staying behind
We make it to New Orleans
And me and mom smoke some cigarettes
And wait for Olivia to get some food
And try to have a güd time

It's Wednesday morning at 9 AM
We put on the news to see some updates
We saw the numbers change from three to four
And now we're scared to death
We take a walk in the park and try to
Get the feeling off our skin
We eat some pizza and drink some Cokes
While my dad is driving to Houston
We meet with Steve and Annette
And drink some beers while we talk about what's to come
I close my eyes and pray to God that
I hope I can sleep this through

They said the wind was howling like a dog
When its owners had to leave it behind
The trees were falling down like dominos
That you set up for a game
The chlorine leaked and spread
And people couldn't breathe for three days straight
Bricks were knocked down shingles flown off
Power lines were blocking streets
The media didn't cover jack shit
The president just signed some autographs
People were helpless and had no clue
What lyfe was to bring them next

It's Thursday morning at 7 AM
My mom is crying and I am too
I couldn't bother watching everything
That was on Facebook
I text and call my friends
Making sure that they made it out okay
They all confirmed and were devastated
To see our high school ripped to pieces
Everyone was numb
And became depressed to see their homes
Not looking like what they call
Home
