Defiance.

Definition: A reliance on yourself,

Contrary to what others think you should do.

Example: My entire life.

I defy your standards

By making my own.

Ignoring your moderate views,

I choose a liberal path for myself.

I defy your morals

By piercing my body

And dyeing my hair.

Because the way I look

Is not the way you want me to look,

You yell and scream.

But I defy you then too

By not listening

And by continuing to live my life

Exactly

How I want to.

Defiance.

A reliance

On myself.
