    Breaking the pattern

    The world seems covered with streaks and dots
    Like zebra stripes and parking spots
    Getting used to staying within the lines
    Of living inside, bound and confined

    Zombies; slaves of ticking clocks
    Too afraid to think outside the box
    So calculated each and every step
    Convoluted like a spiders web

    What is it about oranges and apples?
    Why can’t it be really plain and simple?
    Why not listen closely to cacophony
    You might just find your symphony

    Does everything need to be kept in order?
    Making a mess isn’t quite a disorder
    You may call it sloppy if it doesn’t look the part
    Or you might just call it a work of art!

    It may be easier said than done
    But a method to madness? Where is the fun?
    I live life on terms those are my own
    Then maybe it’ll read on my tombstone

    That here lies a man who did it all
    Who hit his head, who had a great fall
    But boy did he have fun along the ride
    Breaking the pattern with every stride.
