the world doesn’t feel the same anymore these past few years the air has slowly been tinted black thickening, viscous and sour around our bones breaking the ones below and leaving some of us to watch helpless waiting for the air to rise although somehow coming from above bullets shot in the dark didn’t make much sound until finally youthful tear stained faces pulled the bullets up into clear air in their grasps and observed what we’ve become with a clarity none of us knew a clarity none of those people know them with the black tinted air flowing from their mouths becoming more sour, and more heavy with each breath, each utterance each denial they make youthful faces with words far stronger than bullets aimed at those who exhale black the world is different now we all felt like dissolving in the despair instead fortified by it i join hands with my peers and we climb up above the earth fight our way up to the artificial atmosphere and we throw our fists at the oppressive black film surrounding the earth we hurl our bodies into it we scream we cry we cra c k it open one inch at a time

what it feels like to be an american 18 year old in this very moment
the world doesn’t feel the same anymore these past few years the air has slowly been tinted black thickening, viscous and sour around our bones breaking the ones below and leaving some of us to watch helpless waiting for the air to rise although somehow coming from above bullets shot in the dark didn’t make much sound until finally youthful tear stained faces pulled the bullets up into clear air in their grasps and observed what we’ve become with a clarity none of us knew a clarity none of those people know them with the black tinted air flowing from their mouths becoming more sour, and more heavy with each breath, each utterance each denial they make youthful faces with words far stronger than bullets aimed at those who exhale black the world is different now we all felt like dissolving in the despair instead fortified by it i join hands with my peers and we climb up above the earth fight our way up to the artificial atmosphere and we throw our fists at the oppressive black film surrounding the earth we hurl our bodies into it we scream we cry we cra c k it open one inch at a time
this is me just expressing how i feel about being an american today sigh
