Look at us and what we have become

Stuck between what we want and what’s expected of us

Hard to be understood but we try anyway

That’s not good enough, we hear again and again

Doubting ourselves as we turn to unfamiliar things

Drugs alcohol and Xanax pills

Numbing the pain that society causes

Breaking the rules that the world doesn’t abide

Don’t do this, Don’t do that- is a daily struggle

Hiding our feelings is our expert level

A boy who loves a boy, well that’s sinful

But a boy who sleeps with different girls, well that’s meaningful

Come home at 2 am, hear mothers say

Girls don’t stay out at night, it’s not safe

Hiding under a mask we made

Scared to speak, scared to love- is this our fate?

Enough is enough, we often say

Let them point the fingers if the may

Live life on our own terms, be whoever we want

We are the generation that will bring change

So let’s spread love and stop with the hate.
