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'.
