Wild Things 

Because

I'd rather 

stand out 

than fade 

away. 

Because 

I'd rather

be a wild thing

than a plastic

doll. 

Because 

the cool

kids don't

know how

to live 

their life

free. 

(they're not

much cooler

than me. )

Because 

I won't 

apologize

for being a 

wild thing. 

I won't

apologize for

being me

(and you 

can try being

everyone else

but you'll

find that

there is a cage

when I 

can 

walk free.)

Because 

I'm a wild 

thing, 

and wild things

hold the wings

we're not 

angels,

we're not 

dressed in

white

but we are free

and 

the 

thing 

you 

have 

felt

was 

missing

all this time

is the freedom

of the wild things.
