"These, are the best years of your life."
What utter *******
I refuse to accept that
Because these are the years we become aware of how ****** up the world is
but get told we're not old enough to do a **** thing about it
I see so many young minds get washed away with time of complacency And I can't shake this feeling like we're so much greater than this
It's a self fulfilling ******* prophecy
If life gives you lemons you turn that **** into a tangerine
**** what's given
Your life is yours
Make it leave an impression
There's too much wisdom behind those eyes for you to believe these lies
Your life doesn't need to confide within the lines of a coloring book
You are capable
These ARE NOT the greatest years of your life unless you make them
This ends on it's own
You don't need to assist it
Let's see where you'll grow
I believe in redemption
So pick yourself up
You're worth it
Dust yourself off
That's better
You look like you're ready for life
The biggest adventure
Find the beautiful places tucked out of human harms way
Keep them safe
You're all we have left so please
Stay
