I live in a generation where energy is mistaken for chemistry.
Where Hennessy is used as a substitution.
We substitute alcohol and drugs for love.
And every touch of temptation is mistaken to be permanent, we've lied to ourselves
Believing that everyone is the same, that every boy is full of **** and every girl is a *****.
We've discarded what it's like to feel love, to feel it so deep it's mental, physical and emotional.
We connect the feeling of love with a ******* stroke into our core.
I live in a generation where we mistake social media and photography for quality time.
Where likes, followers, snapchat views is most important.
We don't know what's it's like to go to lunch or dinner and not check our devices.
We use group chats, as a vice for gatherings and togetherness
My generation is always complaining about being lonely, Misunderstood, and bored because my generation has mistaken lust and temptation, media and quantity for love and affection for time and quality.
