Rebellion -poem version-

I have felt rebellion inside
I thought I could hide, but I couldn’t do so 
I have felt broken pride
I thought I should hide deep down inside, but where does the wicked wind blow?

I have felt rebellion inside
I thought I should of cried, but I shouldn’t do so
I have felt broken pride
I thought I could dodge the bullet — no, no I know
It hurts deep inside, but it won’t punish my pride
I have tried everything to cradle away this feeling inside

An evanescent pasture I couldn’t find…
If you can be so kind,
Find me a foolish way to endure — I’m just so blind…
Blind with a love I couldn’t find 
Mind over matter — you have a great mind

Lust must rust in my heart forever
As long as I live on Earth,
Things get better…yes, things get better
As long as you have mirth…
