“The Screen-Side Rebel”

I’m a rebel, but not the kind with flags or riots.

I’m the kind that shouts at a screen when nobody’s listening,

the kind that punches out a few angry words,

then sits there with a head full of storms,

wishing I could tear the whole thing down and build something better —

not for me,

but for everyone who’s getting trampled while the liars grin.

It eats at me, this world.

It should be simple:

Kindness costs nothing.

Fairness isn’t complicated.

Dignity should be a birthright, not a luxury.

But every day, I watch it get fucked —

by greed, by fear, by people too small inside to see anything bigger than themselves.

And I sit here, burning,

because deep down, I don’t want power.

I want change.

I want a world where kids grow up dreaming instead of dodging bullets,

where the air doesn’t kill us,

where being decent isn’t treated like some heroic act,

but just… normal.

I shout. I write. I dream.

And maybe it doesn’t feel like much.

But maybe — just maybe —

every rebellion starts like this:

a quiet, furious hope

that refuses to die.
