Written by Highest Kite from the series ‘Rebel’

why is everything war?
a walk outside
a lie in bed
thoughts of days ahead
a sudden mention of my name
do I know who I am/’ve become?
I forget
the sound of my voice when
honest
unafraid
on earth, present and
in love
with more
more newness
more noons outside
more softening, if only
for my mind
for the slightest eases of my
feels like a drum-of-gin-chased-with-saltwater-mind
do not start trouble = be quiet = was it my fault
was it too late
must be fate’s wheel
was it my decision, my path?
= Harshness/Rigidness
to always be right = Loss
of small but
vital parts of life
after gestating fear,
rebel
