No mask for me, thank you!!

Why is it so wrong to be just me?
Why should you look at me so differently?
Just because i disagree to agree
I am to be out-casted so openly?

Yes I don't conform to your standards,
for reasons that should be obvious,
those standards are YOURS,not mine,
Living by my own is so blasphemous?

I don't want to change myself,
just so that you are pleased by my transition,
I want to live my life the way i want to,
I loathe any form of pretension.

Yes, may be that's why i'm stuck in this rut,
May be that's why I lost love twice,
But I'd rather spend my life with my eyes wide open,
than sleep on a bed so full of lies.

I won't wear a mask to cover my face,
however difficult for you it may be
to see the face the way god gave it,
the mask may be soothing,but that's just not me!

I will stand by my principles,
how much ever it may hurt,whatever i lose,
that's the point of having them in the first place,
You can't let adversities change your every muse.

I don't know what else is in store for me,
If i continue to tread this path i chose,
At least when I'm done i'll be satisfied,
I walked MY OWN,be it of thorns,be it of rose.
