When she was five,

Her parent loved each other

So she finger painted hearts in red paint

Said it was about love

And she called herself an artist

When she was seven,

Her mom and dad got a divorce

So she drew a picture of a wilting red rose

Said it was about life

And she called herself an artist

When she was thirteen,

A boy made her cry

So she made paintings of a red heart

Said it was about heartbreak

And she called herself an artist

When she was fifteen,

The bullies at school kept taunting her

So she drew herself a big red teardrop

Said it was about pain

And she called herself an artist

When she was seventeen,

She said couldn't take it anymore

So she cut on herself long red marks

Said it was about death

And she called herself an artist
