An age where I'm supposed to have made it?
I barely made a certificate now I'm supposed to have a degree!?
All these gadgets and luxurious I'm supposed to afford when I can't even afford my bus fare anymore.
People my age are actually getting paid?!
Did a 19 year old just get engaged??
What's all the rush for?
Why's everybody acting like Rashford?!
Everyone's so premium and I'm way out of league!
I am not envious,I'm just so curious as to how I'm supposed to be all that a person born in 1997 has become when I was birthed in 2005?
Now I'm even supposed to look for the right person to be with?
I could barely even turn them on, they can't even turn my direction.
I'm not structured like I'm plastic and that's somehow heavily bombastic?!
I'm not even your best poet, I'm so gen z u hate it!
I'm like all the other people you've met but I just have a zing to my personality?
That gave me no zeal, it's definitely giving "not my type of guy"
It's giving ''I should leave" type of vibe.
I'm creative but I don't fit the aesthetic, is that why when I walked in everyone turned their faces to me?
Am I overthinking this and seeing it through a lace?
Or am I late to this party where all my friends are rich and I'm truly wondering where all my money that I worked for has gone to?
I wish I could have stayed home but the people told me there's no pause button for this grown up pattern.
All these growing pains do not have a stop button.
You could only either do it early and right or late and feel alright that you even made it out alive.
