Get good grades Don't break the rules Act like a proper lady Don't let anyone see you cry All things I was told would eventually get me somewhere I don't deny that being safe makes me comfortable but I wish I could take initiative to be new and do something the world has never seen after all, we are taught so young to do things now so we don't feel the guilt until later

Initiative vs. Guilt
Get good grades Don't break the rules Act like a proper lady Don't let anyone see you cry All things I was told would eventually get me somewhere I don't deny that being safe makes me comfortable but I wish I could take initiative to be new and do something the world has never seen after all, we are taught so young to do things now so we don't feel the guilt until later
