Guilty as charged!


To all those narrow one track minded persons who always point their fingers at me I write these lines:

If being my own self and being true to who I am is a crime then I am Guilty as Charged! I would rather be guilty of honesty than be innocent and have double standards!

If being a law of my own is a transgression to your own laws then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of freedom and liberty to live by my book than be innocent and live by the book!

If fighting for my rights is a sin then I am guilty as charged! But I would rather be guilty of courage than be innocent and live submission and weakness!

If embracing my dark side is an offense to your light sides then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of self knowledge than be innocent and live in pretense and illusions!

If being selective is an evil doing then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of choosing than be innocent and live in slavery of social validation!

If being full of contradictions is a wrongdoing then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of multi dimensional existence than be innocent and live in envelop!

If being Wild and extreme in everything I do is an immoral then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of being natural than be innocent and live tamed and under control!

If standing out is a lawbreaking then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of being eccentric than be innocent and disappear into the crowds!

If the value and not the price tag are my philosopher stone then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of significance than be innocent and become an item for consumption!

If dying to live is a crime then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of excess than be innocent and die while living!

If doing things for my own reasons, if validating my own grounds because I will add to my human experience, is a vice then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of being a raw material than be innocent and live as a finished product and do things to please or tease others!

If I never compromise on my right to be happy and free is a failing then I am guilty as charged! I would rather be guilty of being stubborn than be innocent and live a borrowed life wondering what it would have been like if I never negotiated my own rights!

If the way I look and dress up does not introduce the way I think and act is a fault then I am guilty as charged! But I would rather be guilty of having a conflict of looks and Brains than be innocent and have the easiest version of who I should promote myself to be!

If speaking the truth however harsh or inappropriate it can be is misbehavior then I am guilty as charged! But I would rather be guilty of sincerity than be innocent and say what I do not mean or other than what I feel and make my lies the only truth I know!

To you I say loudly:”The conscience not the reputation is what matters to me” I am my own witness and no one but God can judge me or accuse me! You can never put me on trial for sanctifying and celebrating my chance in life and living my life in all its dimensions, twists and turns!

Seek to never condemn, I am above your suspicion, I will never consent to tyranny or dictatorship, I will never allow you to be the hangman!
