This is me

that made me rebel

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Since my early childhood I was

playing and I still remember

growing up and becoming

me

that made me rebel

learned and still trying

I didn't miss anything from the pampering

that shaped my life

I knew I had a homeland

My ancestors lived in it

so they taught me to protect it

and I still serve it

until I became free and confident

like a ship captain

so it became bigger than me

which made me deny

I suffered and still endure

and no peace of mind

what exhausted my soul

I began to long for retirement

to rest in it

so I worked to welcome it

and I still plan for it

until I found myself free

like a wrestler in the field

time was no longer enough for me

to accomplish everything I decided

so I immigrated and I still move

and there is no place that makes me happy

a place where I can rest

I love writing down ideas

and expressing what I feel

so my direction was Published

And I still write articles

Until I realized that I have readers

Since my first attempts I was

pressing my sleeve and I still publish

I have matured and I have a name

that made me proud

of the "Vocal" platform and I still practice it
