Rebellious Me! Poem by Nandi Mhlongo

Rebellism is a kind word

Rebellism is a free word

Rebellism is action

Rebellious me!



This is my time to rebel,

I will do and write what I like

I will pleasure my every bone

My life is worth rebelling,

Rebellious me!



I have lived my life by the rules

Their rules that I am rebelling against

Don’t you dare stop me from caring.

Don’t you dare stop me from singing in the rain.

This is me rebelling, Rebellious me!



I want to be free,

Free to dance, free to care, free to love, and free to sing.

Free to call, free to rejoice, free to think, and free to hold.

Free To write, free to speak, free to learn, and free to create.

I rebel against your restrictions.

Rebellious me!
