Being Wrong Is A Right

I will not conform to your ideal.

I will not follow the footsteps of those ahead of me or those behind me.

I will not copy the beliefs of my peers

Unless I agree of course.

For I have my own mind, my own style, my own grace,

My own pace.

I walk the way I wanna walk

And I talk the way I wanna talk.

And I feel the only way I know how to feel,

With passion, power and a delicate strength.

If you are so lucky to see...

I will not groove to the sound of your music,

If it’s not to my beat.

I will not laugh at your jokes

To be in your good seat.

I will not play in your colours,

If you’re not in my team.

Because I can jump and kick about,

Or stay silent in my dreams.

I am not trying to be a rebel, renegade or revolutionist

Being different is all the same.

I’m not going out of my way to defy, disregard or disagree.

I am an influencer, influencee, influenced.

I am a piece of all of you

And I am a picture of no one

I believe everyone makes mistakes.

I believe we can all be a disgrace .

I believe we can all fall into the same trap.

I believe once and a while we can all snap.

What I believe you may not agree.

What I say you may not relay.

But you might just remember this,

I believe being wrong is a right.
