Written by Emecheta Christian
I would rather do me and be free
Instead of mimicking your way and sway
I would rather live wild like a child
Instead of programming my mind like your kind
I would rather do good and be booed
Instead of being loved in a life of fraud
I would rather be single and sociable
Instead of being in a relationship sinking like a shipwreck
I would rather pray for better days
Instead of hating my life and drowning in regrets
I would rather scamper from danger
Instead of acting brave and earning an early grave
I would rather have less with a mind at rest
Instead of having it all with a chronic fear of an imminent fall.
