The best part of my life
Is that I never needed audience
Didn't need attention
Didn't need approval to gain confidence
Just sitting within silence
No need of an expedience
No pressures from the status quo
To meet their efforts of obedience

But it wasn't always easy
Indoctrination ain't a gentle kiss
Doubt would flood my mind
And with doubt it is hard to resist
The berate of second-guessing
Internally held within conflict
But my mind was clear to contemplate
And I wouldn't submit

Not an ounce of me is popular
The populations pending
You never know the course of life
Which they will be descending
Yet I guess I never cared much
There's no need to be pretending
So divided from the herd of man
Because I'm unrelenting

Walking now, over the graves
Stirring through the ashes...
