Child Of Rebellion Poem by Denise Marie

I am a child of rebellion,
A light toned minority of the U.S.,
A child of much agony,
Born into this world as aspiration.
I am a U.S. born Puerto Rican, Chinese, Cuban.
Made up of the projects in the Lower East Side,
A broad-minded daughter of a man and woman who constantly ignite into screams as they cross eachothers paths.


I am chaos, the best kind.
The kind of nature that keeps mouths dropped, inferior words not worth listening to, and hearts left ruptured.
I am a demolished soul,
A bright persona that silently fades to black.



I am not alien, I'm just a complex being.
I am not penetrating though my anger brings out the worst in me.
I am not eager, i am mostly at ease.


I am unique. A 21st century teenager,
Going against that which i do not agree...
