(A) (5/10 yard(s)) penalty for illegal procedure
(A) (5/10 minute)) misconduct for breaking/ignoring protocol
I('m) (was) thrown out of the game for cutting/going against the grain
I had've lost my position for breaking/straying with/from tradition
I was kicked/tossed out of school for breaking/shaking all (of) the rules
And not listening to (all) (of) the fools
I was chastised for my originality
I was criticized because of my insight
I was baptized in spirituality
I was crucified to/for the(ir) (crowds) delight
Life is an uphill fight
I was scoffed at for my ideas/ideology/ies
I was laughed at for my beliefs
I was scolded for being too/as bold (as)
I was chaffed at for refusing defeat
Death/dead is/as a fallen leaf
Praises (to) stroke the ego
Phrases (to) evoke (an) emotional response(s)
Phases (to) stretch (the) (limit(s) (of) (the) imagination
(It) raises (to/will) (w)retch/catch/connect (to) (the/your) (level) (of) expectation(s)
