It’s wrong to judge

It’s wrong to run

It’s wrong to pray

It’s wrong to yawn

It’s wrong to love

It’s wrong to fuck

It’s wrong to leave

It’s wrong to stay

It’s wrong to work

It’s wrong to play

It’s wrong to sin

To be who I have been

It’s wrong to wonder

What could have been

It’s wrong to think

It’s wrong to question

It’s wrong to pretend

But they ban realization

So it’s right to be free

To misbehave the way I’m supposed to be

It’s right to be happy

It’s right to be me

I don’t care what you say

I don’t care what you think

I am who I am

So just give me a break

It’s wrong to be famous

Anonymous too

It’s wrong to exist

I don’t know what to do

I’m happy right here

So I guess I don’t care

I’ll sing and I’ll write

You’ll judge just because

But you’ll never express

The kiss of the pen on the page

Or the stroke of the brush

Or the dancing just because

You’re over there

And I’m right over here

So come dance with me

If you ever dare

Oh

My mistake

You don’t really care
