Raising hell since I was 3 years old.
Refusing to do as I’ve been told.
Worn the flag of rebel all my life.
Its why I have a pornstar wife.
Ignore those who think I’m wired wrong.
Dress as I wish instead of conform.
After all who wants to be a clone?
Its like forever answering a ringing phone.
Boring, mindless, it sends you mad.
Doesn’t mean that I am bad.
Simply I refuse to bow.
The man has nothing on living, wow!
In my teenage years I ran away.
Stil don’t regret it to this day.
Experiences I got helped form who I am.
Ensured I never became a meek and mild man.
Its why I fight for what I believe.
Not sit in sadness with lights off and grieve.
Not for everyone, yes I know.
Doesn’t mean I’m a tearaway so and so.
Simply a guy trying to live my best life.
Instead of writhe in mind numbing strife,
Hating every second I live and breathe.
To me that is a waste, indeed.
Going grey but still exactly the same.
Unwilling to live inside my brain.
Life is here and should be lived.
Before you know it you could be gibed.
Have seen none of the wonders to behold.
Things that turn a life to pure gold.
So ignore the haters and push on through.
I did it and you can always too.
Only too late if you give up and fade away.
Allow yourself to embrace mental decay.
Regrets will never get you to where you want.
They will only crush you beneath a conformity hunt.
