Mad

by Countess of Monte Cristo

Don't tell me if I'm wrong.
Don't teach me what is right.
I do know who i really am.
Though you always see me fight.

It is the people who mince no words.
That are often mistaken as bad.
They insist on being heard.
While everyone calls them mad.

I'm going to speak louder.
And i will not step down.
In any case, I'll be damned if i do or don't.
I'll be the next talk of the town.

People just like to gossip.
They have nothing better to do.
And it's probably time for me.
To bid you all adieu.

I cannot stand these lies.
I cannot stand these acts.
You should all wake up.
And separate your opinions from the facts.

I simply cannot do this.
Acting to please you all.
And i highly doubt
That you'll help me when i fall.

I'll be damned if i do and damned if i don't.
Heck, i'm gonna be just me.
I tend to stand among the crowds.
And i have a spirit that is free.

So, it is the people who mince no words.
That are often mistaken as bad.
And i insist on being heard.
Even if you consider me mad.

* Not necessarily factual, but i just like to swim against the current. I also have a very dark opinion of what "society" is. Let me leave it at that.
