Mischief

I will never be one

to just blindly fall

instep with the herd.

And it has caused me

much grief in this life,

Being willful and unconforming

to this world.

Sometimes

I wish I could be different,

Less straight-forward,

More submissive.

I wonder if my rough edges

were smoother,

Would my life be too?

And if it were,

Would I then long

for mischeif?
