Rebel

Rebel:1. To refuse allegiance to and oppose by force an established government or ruling authority. 2. To resist or defy an authority or a generally accepted convention. 3. To feel or express strong unwillingness or repugnance



When I was a teen I used to sign
my poems 
Rebel.

I never thought of it as fighting
I felt I was liberating myself

growing, testing boundaries
igNOring the No's
and embracing
'why the hell not?!'


i wouldn't follow the rules
or submit to categories
i got in a lot of trouble
i got called names


But at least I lived life my way
can u say the same?

I've always felt like a rebel. Going against the grain, doing what others couldn't, or wouldn't, or were too afraid to.

I've made mistakes, but I've lived my life out loud and proud and have had a lot of amazing experiences because of it!

Returning your visit through FTLOB! Love this post!

Good message... It is hard to figure out who you are sometimes.

I like that quote. In fact, my greatest pleasure in life is also doing things that my inner voice says I can't do, so it works both ways!

Stopping by from FTLOB!
