Do whatever it takes, he told me.
Do whatever you think is right, he told me.
Do whatever you want, he told me.
Do whatever you believe is right, he told me.

He never warned me what would happen..
If I listened to him.

When he left me, I did what it took to get him back.
His wife was a cruel woman, so I killed her.
He hated me for it, but he had nowhere else to live.
I did what it took.

When he hit his new wife, I saw it from the stairs.
I ran down, argued and even fought with him.
He hit me too, so I killed him.
I did what I thought was right.

When she was trying to punish me, I left the house.
I went out with friends and did things.
I had to run from the police, but I got sent down.
I did what I wanted.

When they put me away I cried myself to sleep.
Two years on I had a councellor for not handling it well.
When I got out, I went straight to my mother...
I did what I believed was right...

To her at least.
