Rebel With a Cause

A Rebel With A Cause. . Am I a lesser man Because I didn’t live up to others Ideals and expectations I may have lost direction Does that make me a failure After all I’m only human And have many imperfections . Who’s to say what is right or wrong I’ve always been a rebel Not prepared to sing everyone's song And conform To societies norm Yes I’m different An individual And that’s how I was born . Perhaps if others lived up To my ideals and exasperations Maybe the world would be a better place For despite my failures I have a big heart And only have One face Not two. . Peter Dome©2020.

Hi Peter, Just be you no matter what. You are not a failure for not reaching another’s expectations, for we are only human and imperfect individuals. Are you a rebel if you beat to your own drum? I will be that kind of “ rebel” every time:-) Alexis
