The Rebel

I am a rebel
Seeking departure from society
The people are fine
I love people

The system is the issue
The system is what brings people down
Not themselves
It couldn't be

I can lift them up
If only I had my finger on the button
The system needs people
At the bottom

If I could depart
I would
But i’m trapped
Why is everyone else so comfortable?

I’m afraid to show
My true emotions
Nobody likes an outcast
Nor does the system

My parents are good
But they’re clueless
They just collect their cheques
Like all the rest

Like cogs in a machine
Spinning ‘round n ‘round
I’ll never get stuck inside
I know better

Every time I speak out
I feel alone
I know there’s others
Somewhere..

---------------------------

Never thought the day would come
My opportunity
My passion, my dream
My love, my loved ones

...I was young once too
A rebel, just like you
But it’s just a phase
And like everything
It will pass
