when i was five
the teacher told me not take more than two crayons at once
i took ten
when i was seven
my dad told me not run in the store
i saw a teddy bear and ran to it
when i was nine
my mom told me to share my chocolate with my friends
i ran up to my room and ate it all by myself
when i was eleven
the teacher told me not draw on the desk
i wrote my name is big letters and got sent home
when i was thirteen
my dad told me to be careful on the streets
i nearly ran over a baby with my bike
when i was fifteen
my friend told me to stay away from him
i fell in love
when i was seventeen
the same friend told me he would break my heart
i moved in with him
when i was nineteen
i was alone
you're not supposed to fall in love with people like him
but when do i ever do what i'm supposed to
