Poems Of Plenty

Gen Z

Crying every night,
I still put up a fight.
I let go of my anger
On others out of spite

I try to hold it in
So friendships can begin
So I don't lash out
And be more outcasted than I've ever been

Am I real? Am I fake?
I just need a mental break
I people please and do what they say
I must say that's my greatest mistake

My emotions, feelings and thoughts
Every day they have fought
To keep me sane but they have failed
A lesson to myself I have taught

People like you if you listen
They like to be in a place of position
I support change they will say
And yet they insist on following tradition

The economy is shit
It's taken a big hit
Worse than the Great Depression
That the government hates to admit

Go buy a house, move out
They scream and shout
A working wage won't cover it
But help we are without

This generation is doomed
You wonder why we're depressed
You blame the technology
That helps us do our best
