Killer Born, Killer Killed
The day I was born
 The 23rd of May, in the year 1999
 My mother died, I clenched my fists and wailed
 The doctor clucked his tongue and said
 She's a natural
 
 The first day of grade three
 I was skipping rocks in the pond at recess
 I noticed a bird of prey dive for a mouse
 I must've threw the rock out of reflex
 because the bird fell and the mouse left alive
 A crowd of kids and teachers alike had gathered
 They whispered amongst themselves
 I couldn't hear them but I know what they said
 She's a natural
 
 In grade four I got attacked
 By a big man with a little knife
 I spat on his face and hit him till blood covered my knuckles
 Men in pristine black suits came
 They took the body away and told each other
 She's a natural
 
 In grade five they had me working overtime
 I had no time for play dates and normal things
 Kids would not cross the street to play
 They'd be ushered by their worried parents away
 Warning their curious kids
 She's a natural
 
 In grade six I fought my way to the top
 An eleven year old assassin with no friends
 I put everything into my work
 Enemies beware
 She's a natural
 
 In grade nine I met my match
 With a bottle of pills
 And a letter that read
 I guess in the end I killed everything I touched
 I was warned my whole life
 I'm a natural
