Rebel Poem by Marea Johnson

Convince me
conform me
and do what you must
To help me survive
in a world of disgust.

You blind me
confine me
then tell me I'm free
To do what I want
to choose what I see.

Just leave me alone
I want to be free
I won't be discarded
I won't be deceived.

You put up your borders
divide up the earth
Who gave you power
to say what I'm worth?

Another statistic
is all that I am
A number designed
to conform to the plan.

Just leave me alone
I wanna be free
I won't be discarded
I won't be deceived.
