"I Generation"

by Matthew-A-Cain

I I I look at me, me, me And we fail to see, Attention is the new "drug". And thus we believe we deserve the best while aiming for mediocrity. The "I generation" Defined by our need to feel special We post, tag and snapchat to feed our addictions But nothing ever satisfies Just one more hit and I’ll be done with this Just one more like and one more time But we fail to realize we’re slowly dying inside as life Passes us by.

Notes

I know this topic is a bit played out but in honesty I get frustrated with my generation because we are starving for human interaction and we believe that we will find it on the other end of a wifi connection when in all reality friends surround us talking and trying to connect but to no avail and worst yet we spend half our time staring at a screen as our life passes us by and our addictions rob us of our youth and spontaneity.
