I’ll Rejoice: A Slam Poem

In the land of vibrant sun and sea,
A soul yearns to break free,
From the chains of stagnation and despair,
To rise above, to breathe in the fresh air.

Lost in the maze of life’s cruel game,
Struggling against the current, against the flame,
Living on the edge, teetering on the brink,
Desperate for change, to find a new link.

I refuse to conform, to play their game,
I won’t be a puppet in their twisted frame,
I bring gifts to the table, unique and bright,
I deserve to be valued, in the spotlight.

I won’t be a cog in their heartless machine,
I won’t let them crush me, unseen,
I want justice for the pain they’ve caused,
For the dreams they’ve shattered, the lives they’ve paused.

I know there’s more, a missing key,
To unlock the door, to set me free,
I’ll keep searching, I’ll keep fighting,
For a future where I’m truly thriving.

So listen up, you callous few,
Your time will come, your deeds will undo,
I’ll rise above, I’ll find my way,
And in the end, I’ll have my say.

I am strong, I am fierce, I am bold,
I’ll write my story, in letters of gold,
I’ll find my path, I’ll make my mark,
And in the end, I’ll light up the dark.

So watch out world, here I come,
A force to be reckoned with, a beating drum,
I’ll find my purpose, I’ll find my voice,
And in the end, I’ll rejoice.
