Rebel
eyes twinkling like shiny stars
reflected in the mirror
only you can see
why do you radiate so much coldness?
your heart a stone
closed its doors
unable to admit visitors
and when it's time to face the pyres
atop red fiery fires
there won't be any time for "what
if"s
carpe diem
the day is young
but the world laughs and taunts
'turn back, turn back'
past history and hurt
that they don't know about
so what are you rebelling against?
what've you got then?
you know it's nothing
nothing but basketball.
A/N: Fourth and third last lines were inspired by a couple of dialogue from the movie "The Wild One" starring Marlon Brando.
Girl: What are you rebelling against,
Johnny?
Johnny (Brando): What've you got?
