The Nonconfirmist
They told me it was
a tiger
But underneath it
was a sheep
They tried to scare
me with it
Until I caught it
bleating
They told me the
tunnel was full of darkness
They said venturing
there would be rashness
But it was until I
saw the shimmering
Then none could stop
me from going
They told me not to
mingle with strangers
Their friendship
could bring me harm
But I finally found
my true love
Amongst these very
same strangers now
They warned me to
hide
When the powerful
came out to stride
But it was until
they burned down a place
Angered within I
came out to face
They asked me not to
go against the rule,
Risking it would be
an act of fool
But it was until I
found out the basic flaw
That they were
nothing more than ruler's claw
They asked me to
shut up
When I tried to
speak up
They said they were
doing me a favour
And urged me to have
the fervour
But then I stopped
listening
I put my headphones
on
They screamed and
raised their voices
But I ignored all
their cries
I put on my
favourite song
And pumped the
volume high
I walked past them
in pride
And Screamed ' I don't need a guide'.
