Avoid expectation
At all costs
Awareness is knowing when not to care
Of course you care
But you don’t concern yourself with lessons
Or form
Unless it’s your own
The worst thing is to be afraid
If you are a part of the scene
Then you can be a cowboy in a commune
It's an adventure without an agenda
Try not to think about it
Everything thing is a way out
Nothing is anything
The moment you feel different is the door
All it takes is one person to get you
There is no way to measure it
It’s not popularity
It’s not an ego
You walk like a cowboy in a castle
Take off your boots
Or wear them
But don’t make up your mind about it
And don’t answer questions
If anybody says they know you
That’s just them
It’s not you
They tried to put you somewhere
Somewhere that makes them feel better
The best thing I ever did was stand up to a friend
This is what I do
This is what I’m going to do
And being a man is not being a man
It’s not being a woman
It’s not being anything
Except being what I feel
