Revolutionary 

by Souldiergirl



Seven steps toward the sun 

Seven inches will reach the end  
Seven seconds..
Is when I let go and run 
Too foreign is the face of the reflection 
The haunt of 
“Is this what I really want”
Screaming like an old song
Or a familiar scent
I want to be like a reed in the water
Broken from robotic commitment 
The yes and no’s of behavior 
The falsetto of mediocre 
Shatter me into the wild 
Carve me out and into a sculpture 
I will break it apart
And sprint even further 
From the table you’ve set for my future
Don’t you see?
I will never live there
Today is already the sleeping tomorrow 
And I am young in the water
What you have predestined 
Is not for me
Don’t you see?
You don’t even know who I am
I am no longer your child 
I am a revolutionary woman
Without a mother 
Without a father

  1. hard to set something free, wait for it to return and realize it never will. Through the sadness and loss you will gain a sense of freedom. Love these strong words!

  6. Hi, I found this really well written and relatable. I enjoyed the effects of the rhythm that disappeared towards the end and I thought it emphasized how the speaker (you?) have broken out of conformity well enough. Kudos! 🙂
