these days
my rebel heart drives me
to distraction
for every line drawn
in the sand
it is necessary for me
to step across
like in double dare
testing you
and myself for the anwers
to who i am

if the truth be told
these days
are no different from others
you know
i am mule stubborn
and kick just as much
don't touch
don't talk
just walk quietly

my burden is too heavy
i refuse
to share this load

if it helps
you should know
i fight myself even more
than i fight you

it never ceases to fight
something
or someone
this rebel heart of mine

i hate every beat of it
these days
