Wont be told.

 

Time and time again I am completely misunderstood

 Not conforming to social norms that I should

I will rebel if people disapprove the way I live my life

If told to do something I’ll do it more for spite

As I cause no one trouble I am my own worst enemy

 I cant be the poison and the remedy

I do things my own way even though seen worse by others

 there's one thing they can not say I do not harm another

Despise being told what to do

I’ll do what I want and see it through.

Past actions cause much regret Sometimes I wish I could forget

Although character building is gained from error From ties of past mistakes  I must now sever.

Excellent poem because I can 100% relate! I always felt and still feel the same - guess we just want to be in control of our own destiny.

Love a good rhyme scheme. And i can relate. Often off on my own hoarding some weird objects for a new piece of art im working on and other generally weird pasttimes but im not hurting anyone, just not following the crowd.

I can relate to not fitting into social norms, all real writers can. The trick is to convince yourself that you don't have to and that it's okay. True poem
