Against the Grain

A delicate balance to maintain
    He carves out his position against the grain

  Spurning extremes, clinging to the center
    Scorned by all, ridiculed forever

I don't think going against the grain has to mean bad? I have gone against the grain in many ways in life. In fact, it is much easier these days. All in perspective and actions though. Thought provoking. Good one Gershon. :)
