Don't label me a millennial
The culture loves to debate us as if we can’t speak for ourselves
Undeveloped persons, still kids that don’t deserve respect
An entire industry revolves around trying to understand us
Not to be inspired by our individual personalities and dreams
But to help corporations trick us with perfectly packaged products
A new watch, phone, or college all tailored to meet the current trend
Some experts claim that we are all narcissists
So self-centered we need to take photos of ourselves
Others claim we will be the ones to change the world
Because of our confidence, self-expression, and optimism
Stop shoving your highly processed genetically modified lies down our throats
You drown us in a flood of information
You seek to box us all into individual white walled jail cells
We’re at a point in our lives when we are finding out individual identity
The last thing we need is someone telling us who we are
We are old enough to define ourselves
We are a generation of individuals
And if people respected each of us like we desire
Maybe we would trust ourselves
