Contrary

It’s hard to always know in life
which way is best to go.
Following fads and trends
tends to be not,
from what I know.

But does that mean in everything
you go the other way?
I’ve tried that
and I’ll tell you what
at the end of the day -

if you live life against the grain
most times you will be right.
But if it’s all you ever do…
then you will miss the light.
