Affliction

never one to play it safe
always bending the rules
always pushing the envelope
using every tool

as I buck the system
fighting predisposed convictions
I don't see this as an affliction
but more of a contradiction

if there is an "out" I'll find it
if there is a line, I'll cross it
if there is a wrong, I'll right it
if there is a border, I'll smudge it
