Everything I Want To Say

gen z

At first glance they look so lost in their life's; not like everybody else, trying to hide their true selves anymore.

Acting mature and all grown up - but actually never knowing what's up, while falling in love with who they want; except themselves.

Finally wearing what they want - not giving a fuck - baggy clothes; looking scary and tuff - but still feeling insecure as they try to hide scarred skin; having beauty standards tattooed on them since they were children.

Things that they hold onto so tight are cigarettes and the taste of alc - just so that they can feel something at 3am on a Sunday night.

They are not able to tell their parents shit, because they are afraid about it. Coping with trauma and laughing about their mental health - diagnosing themselves - but in reality screaming for help.

Still sleeping with their stuffed animals at 18 years of age, while thinking about sex as love, even tho they exactly know it's not.

They cry over movies and books, wishing for lovers like those; having such good hearts that are not able to handle the feelings of love; because they already got screwed over - even tho everybody around them is saying love is love.

Listening to music every single minute they can; having stories in their heads to every single song. Music on their minds, that parents would never approve of, as it seems to be just pointless screaming.

They don't care about the system anymore; fuck this shit let's start a riot on their minds, as they are joining a group and holding up their signs.
They are the freest kids that ever existed, open minded and accepted; at least in their own generation.

They are trying; as their life's are just one big fight. A fight for genders, pronouns and rights - a fight to not become like their parents - but above all, they are fighting to stay alive.
