Us kids need to thank our adults.
They've given us everything we have.
They've given us a body, and a voice along with it.
They've given us a home, and a bed to sleep in.
They've given us an education, and a degree to prove it.
Thank you for giving us everything.

But lets not forget the just as important things.
They've given us the war, and racism along with it.
They've given us gender roles, and the homophobia along with it.
They've given us gangs, and the violence that comes along with them.
They've given abuse, and the scars to prove it.
Thank you for everything you've given us.
But most of us wont listen, or care, we are changing this world.
But we couldn't have changed it without you,
So thank you for everything you've given us.
I am not trying to say that all adults are hurting my generation, my only purpose with this poem is to show that not everything in this world is designed for my generations success. My generation is taking the torch of many age old fights that my parents and parents-parents and their parents couldn't finish.  ):)

Does something seems different about her?
When was the last time you really talked to her?
Can’t you see she’s in need of someone to confide in?
Silly boy, can’t you see that she needs someone to cry on?

Do you like her new collection of long sleeves?
Do you notice the marks on her arm?
Do you realize it was her nails, not the cat?
Silly girl, can’t you see needs you?

Do you hear her silent screams?
Can anyone see behind her mask?
Does anyone notice the pain in her eyes?
You might think she’s happy, but she’s not gonna be okay...

i'm sorry really,
but i guess we were both being silly,
i hope you agree with me, but i no longer see a you & i.

i no longer see the galaxies in your eyes.

i no longer see you shining like a star from afar.

i no longer see the art pour out of you,

i guess what im saying is i'm through.

i'm done with you.

i'm done trying to be who you expect me to.

i'm done with you not caring about me.

You see, we were never meant to be.

We're too different from each other,

I just wasn't ready for a lover.

You moved to fast,

I moved to slow.

I kind of knew we weren't going to last,

i also knew it wasn't going to grow.

So.

Im sorry really,
but i guess we were both being silly,
i hope you agree with me,
but i no longer see a you & i.
ouch.

Upon resting in bed with a girl,
I asked her 'do you want to spoon?'
She gives of a shocked face and says,
'Fork no'.
I looked at her with a smile
And mumbled 'that's not very knife of you'...

Come dinner that day,
I broke a dinner plate and decided it was funny to say,
' dish is a dishaster'....

I haven't talked to her ever since.

I know you're not mine,
But I can't help feeling jealous, you know?
I know I'm not his girlfriend or anything, but I can't help feeling like protective over him. I'm not really that type of person, but man, he makes me feel things.

We could be history
panting stories with our lips
your the paper and I'm the words
