The poem Rebel is a story of a girl who gets advice of fear, dare, don’t fly. The poet at the end of the poem gives an excellent message.
There was once a girl, ages ago. She had big dreams and with big wings, she dared to fly But they said she would burn, ‘Don’t fly too close to the sun’- So, she did what she was told. There was once a girl, ages ago. She raised her voice, did not keep quiet But they said she had to obey, ‘Or you will go astray’- So, she did what she was told. There was once a girl, long ago She was tired of running, scared of falling But, they said, she could never say no ‘Go with the flow’- So, she did what she was told. ‘Do what you’re told’ ‘Don’t think for yourself’ ‘Do not disobey’ ‘Don’t be bold’ Or you’ll be free.
