The World Needs A Rebel and An Outlaw

By Melissa - Tuesday, April 23, 2013

To all those who don't fit in with the contemporary checklist that society sets for us,
To the ones who have a mind of their own and are not afraid to speak it,
To you who wear your expressions on your face and heart on your sleeve,
To those with a voice and something to tell the world,

I'm reminded today that the world needs a rebel and an outlaw.

The world doesn't need another blaring horn with no conviction and reason. Our world needs someone who will not be afraid to speak the truth, even when it hurts and comes at the cost of our pride.

The world doesn't need another ignorant simpleton who mistakes silence for obedience. Our world needs someone who will know that courage requires us to make and take a stand.

The world doesn't need another settler. Our world needs change. 

If taking a stand, holding your own and being true to one's self would mean that one would be labeled (inexorably) as a rebel or an outlaw, then perhaps that is what is wrong with our world today.

Dear Outlaw,

Thank you for reminding me that who I am is valued and cherished. I trust you with my life as well. 


Us against the world, 
Rebel.
