Am I Doing This Right?

Wrong.

A word we'd rather not hear. I'm not sure who constituted it. Who started it. Who decided what it was and wasn't, but it's here now.

 

Wrong.

Stay away from it. "Mistakes teach you dear, but I'd rather you stay away from them." 

 

Wrong.

The "wrong" people. The "wrong" place. The "wrong" time. The "wrong" path. I'm diggin' through this wrong to find me a right. 

 

What she didin't realize is that all those wrongs in her life would take her by the wrist and swing her into her "right."

 

She erased those "right" lines. She stepped over them and defiled the rule makers. They choked on her passion.

I guess all that wrong you said would stop her, launched her into her greatest right.
