Gentle exception

Once I chose the untrodden path

I never knew time may harm my emotion

By then I saw much of the world

Got carried away by a "gentle exception"

It bruised me from head to toe, I ended up being frustrated 

But I chased my whim, never believed what others said

Maybe I should have followed the trodden path

For clichés are often said to be "safe" and "trusted"

I was blacklisted from the rest of the generation,

Denied expressing the truth.

Forgot that humans are devoid of hearts 

They said, "truth and virtues are wrong addictions."

Do not follow exceptions, my dear fellows

It will cost you your time, your patience will drain

But I will still spend my saving on buying grief

Because exception whispers "no pain no gain."
