We try so           hard to categorize
All things as          black or white
When in reality,        life is full of gray.
Right versus wrong,     liberal, conservative,
Choose family values       or live for money and fame.

The world wants me to pick a side but I am on the fence.  

I choose to        live life without commitment,
I will go against the         grain.  I am a multi-
Faceted human being, not some       marketing tool
For political gain.         Do not chastise me for
Bending the rules.   It makes you uncomfortable,
I know.
Let’s make this world uncomfortable together,
And you will see that life is better
That way.
