Our Differences
Our Differences
Hold your tongue tightly
It is vile and inconsiderate
Speaking pompous things to
Put your generation above me
And I say to you, silence
Our lives are not the same
I beg you to step down from
Your throne and walk
Ignorant claims you speak:
My life is simple without
A problem that mattered,
I am a pest who sleeps.
You didn’t school with monsters
With painted plastered smiles
and evil typing fingers
with tongues a different vile
You might have punched the kid
But we can’t risk our record
Relying on the blind adults
That don’t solve the problem
We are dying off far quicker
Begging for some help
And all we receive are sneers
Because we are a helpless generation
We are forced to imprison ourselves
A debtor’s prison to have the
Possibility of not living a dead life
We are drowning in those chains
But there are more chains
Success is a fine print of
Activity and generosity
Sacrificing everything
There is no sleep
But pencils and misery
And no breathing
Just begging for an ending
For you, there was no fear in
The teenager who sits alone
You may have jested about
Such a kid, but we don’t trespass
We are terrified of the lonely
For it is the lonely that snap
It is the lonely that live regretless
With a gun in their hand
And we are a very lonely generation
