I BROKE THE RULES...


I broke the rules

Because I wanted to

I broke the rules

For I was tired of the game

I was tired of the same rhythms

I wanted a change

But you wanted to continue

So, I broke the rules

Because I wanted out

 

I broke the rules

They were too intense

I tried to abide in them

But I realized

I could not

Not anymore

So, I broke the rules

Because I could

 

I broke the rules

You know I did

Because it was a prison

I am not a prisoner

I wanted freedom

I am freedom, my ancestors gifted me that

So, I broke the rules

Because they made me prisoner

 

I broke the rules

And am excited I did

I now feel the peace roaming

I feel the freshness of the air I breathe

I feel the breeze for the first time

And I like it

 

The freedom

So much enticing

So, I broke the rules

Because I have a right to

And, they are rules to be broken
