No follower of trends

I’ve never been a follower of trends

Never been a fashion victim

I’ve always done my own thing

When punk was at its peak I didn’t want to know

It only got interesting after it went from being a fashion show

To being a movement representing proper anarchism

I am a person who avoids schisms

Left wing, right wing too extreme

I tread my own path in between

I dress how I want,

Say what I choose to say

If you are not happy with my actions

The move away

Because I choose to use my own mind

I am existentialism sublime

I work off of original thought

Struggled with school and how they taught

History written by the victors

That seem biased to me

Never just swallowed up everything

I kept to myself and kept questioning

Kept to myself and chose what to believe in

I am not no sheep

I am authentically me

And very happy.
