Rebel

I was born
Dreamlike fuzzed ethereal edges
Give way to
Cold hard ledges

Take me back
Into my warm cocoon

Fast forward
Grade school officials
Warnings of retribution

Not following directions
But lots of potential

Yes, parents are in the picture
Yes, they care
Care what others think

I didn't

Born free
But not free to think
So I took it for myself

The constraints of thinking
Outside the box wasn't enough

So my mind now rests easy
Filled with heavenly dust
