My Rebellion

I am on my own from my smothering family
It’s time for me to start a new life
What should I do first?
I take some time to think about it
So far, all I see is a long iceberg sheet of nothing                                                                                                                                                                        5

This looks bad…
Suddenly, I turn on all of the bright neon lights in my head
Why don’t I just do the first thing that comes to mind
Yeah, that’s a great idea!
Just walk on this oddly colored winding road                                                                                                                                                                              10

That’s what I’ll do!
It is what I have been doing since I was twelve
I have been walking the road to my future even
Since then
I began my unique journey back in 2000                                                                                                                                                                                    15

I have been walking on my path without
Giving up. I can’t quit now
My mind is banning me from doing so
Forwards I go, little kitty!
I see myself as a cat, you see, that is what I am                                                                                                                                                                         20

Sure, I run into tiresome fights on my path
Not to worry!
I, this little black kitty, have my dagger-sharp claws out
Don’t mess with me!
I will fight back!                                                                                                                                                                                                                           25

I have bright yellow sunshine soaked days
I have deep grey concrete days
It doesn’t matter to me, because…
From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss                                                                                                                                                                                                     30

That my friends, is what my rebellion is all about!
