When she was five they told her to say please, they told her to say thank you, and she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
When she was eight they told her to listen, they told her to follow directions, and she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
When she was ten they told her to work hard, they told her to push herself, and she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
When she was sixteen they told her to give up her dreams, they told her to worry about school, and she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
Except not everyone.
When she was seventeen they told her to make decisions, they told her to plan for a future career, and she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
Except not everyone.
When she was eighteen they told her many things, they told her things she didn't want to do, but she did. And everything was good and everyone was happy.
Except not everyone.
When she was still eighteen she told herself she couldn't do it, she wanted to give up, and she did. And everything felt good and she was happy as she pulled the trigger.
