WHY CONFORM?

WHY CONFORM?


An outsider is what I am.
Outsider I shall be.
Why should I conform to others?
I shall rather be free.

It’s not that I am arrogant
Or that I am rigid.
It’s that the thought of being groomed
Makes me rather livid.

If I am wrong, others are right,
I do not mind a change.
But why should I, for others’ sake,
My life style rearrange?

Better to be an outsider
In this world as long as,
In keeping my life secluded,
Purpose for me God has.
