“You don’t play by the rules” ... I don’t do what you say.
“You are entirely too opinionated” ... I question the narrative.
“You’re too controversial” ... I do what I think is right, not what makes me popular.
“Calm down”... Oh, did I speak out of turn?
“You’re difficult” ... I’m not playing your game.
“Just make the deals for leverage, then you win” ... Meh, this thing called integrity keeps getting in the way.
“I can ruin your rep” ... Never had any anyways.
“You know how well you would do if you just played the game and used that face of yours”... Now what fun would that be?
Maybe you’re just upset that you can’t control me... so your answer is to try to tear me down to put me in that little box of yours.
I was never very good about staying in those perfect little boxes... believe me, I’ve tried.
Too much hurricane under all that sunshine...
It’s amazing what others will try to use against you - Using words as weapons, to impose their will on you.
Those that need to beat you down in order to feel better about themselves, to achieve their goal.. whatever that may be.
Put all that crap into that little box of theirs, and burn it down.
Embrace your flaws, empower your inner hurricane, and don’t take any shit... because you, my friend, are perfect the way you are.
Maybe some of us just weren’t meant for pretty little boxes.
