I Did It My Way
When they sneered at me
And what I believe
When they tried to force me to see things their way
I went ahead and did it my way
When they told me I was zany
Said that my thoughts were evil
That I wasn't fit to be among decent people
I kept on doing it my way
When they called me nefarious
Said that I was consorting with the devil
Just because I talk to ghosts
I still did it my way
Sometimes their words made me unhappy
Many times my heart was broken
But lying about my truth would bring no joy
So I always did it my way
Perhaps to those in the mainstream
My beliefs seem a little extreme
But I always try to be good and do right
At the heart of it all, that's my way

Notes:
I'm Spectra, and I do Tarot readings and speak to those beyond the veil. I've always had psychic abilities. I grew up in a small town, and the rumors flew. I got tired of trying to convince closed-minded people that I wasn't Satan's sister, so I just let them talk.
Eventually I moved away and didn't have to deal with them any more. Sadly, the world as a whole is rife with closed-minded attitudes.
It's hard to believe, but there are still plenty of people who think that "witch" equates with "devil worshiper."
If anyone else has esoteric beliefs or simply an open mind and a desire to make the world a better place, you might be interested in Team Netherworld's Open Minded Search for Truth page.
Truth is not one size fits all. We are all walking our own path. The one thing we all must do, first and foremost, is harm none. That includes not spreading lies about those whose paths are different from our own.
