It takes a rebel.

traverses barriers and raises hell,
breaks the rules and about it yells.
scorns the facts and breaks a spell,
incites censure to be held libel.

falls off hard; subsists like a dell,
creeps and crawls and cries as well.
nowhere to go to, no place to dwell,
bruised badly; but lives to tell.

wipes away tears like nothing befell,
resurrects the spirit and makes it impel.
born to evolve; believes in chell,
winning is the dream to where he propels.

weathering storms, sows a jewel,
then spreads it like a malignant cell.
instigates change and sees it swell,
ah! success, truly sweet is your smell.

and carves a path to thus excel.
it takes a rebel.
