Wasted Youth

Trying is just another thing to keep me down Smiling is just stretching my engraved frown I saw the world around me up to a standard I'm below it with the environment making me stranded They say I have potential I don't think I can leave my mind's shell Long ago I exposed myself to the truth They don't see that I'm just wasted youth Hope comes with a cost The hopeless who made a future for themselves because among those who are eternally lost They think I have it all together They're confused when my mind is somewhere else Handicapped by the world I've been forced into They don't see what I have to see every day I'm not worse off Why couldn't someone less fortunate switch lives with me I'm never going to be anything I just waste air and resources on earth I'm wasted youth
