Life is dull, colors are muted and everything is on fire. The world is burning and all we talk about is whatever person we choose to be obsessed with for five minutes. We're measured on likes, comments and views. Oh you dont look like the instagram model with enough plastic to fill the ocean (more) well why not? As a society we boycott starbucks and Mcdonalds because not buying a venti mocha swirl frappe is going to end a war. BREAKING NEWS another copy and pasted girl went viral for doing a tik tok dance. It is crucial we save wikipedia and gain the nonsense information of whitewashed history, but it's not so important to save the rights to women's bodies. We have to reelect the man who's number of felony charges changes every five minutes. We riot for the last 80" flat screen tv on black friday but not the millions of people murdered last friday. The economy is crashing but it's okay as long as shein prices don't go up. You cant talk about rape, its a "sensitive subject" and it makes the men uncomfortable. WELL MAYBE these ment shouldnt go around raping people. When I walk into a room full of the male species all I see is a bunch of uneducated morons swinging their dicks around hoping some fine piece of ass will come along. The boys at your school will bully you relentlessly, somehow, teenage boys have a way of breaking you down, finding your biggest weakness and destroying you with it. Babies are vaping, and people brag about drug addictions. Canada burned to the ground and North Korea is killing people for no reason and you know what we're worried about? what that anorexic girls workout routine is. Everybodys brainwashed to click or swipe, nobody's attention span lasts longer than 10 seconds. We as a generation are a bunch of needy, blood sucking, attention singing leeches that will do ANYTHING for validation. You have to go to college or you failed in life, but hey maybe i don't want to be thousands of dollars in debt for the rest of my life. I want kids but I couldn't bring them into a world that WILL kill them. At 7am 2,00 kids 14-19 file into windowless classrooms and learn the formula for calculating energy. You spend your life being a rat, running and running until you die. People try to put a meaning to life and death but I don't think there is one. We're born, we live, some better than others. Then we die. It's sad to think really, some might leave behind a legacy, but most become a grave plot or dusty framed photo on the wall. If you're lucky, you die a peaceful death surrounded by family and love, if you don't, everyday you die little by little until you become so broken, bedrot. There's a day in everybody's life that you wake up and colors don't shine quite as bright as they used to. The crooked smile everybody loved, has faded into a crooked frown. The sparkle of life clouded with the dark circles. We go from wanting to be a princess or an astronaut to just wanting to pay the bills. Why must we destroy the only place we live? The sidewalks are littered with cigarette butts and beer cans. A homeless man sleeps in front of your school doors, children are being married off, hospitals are being bombed. BUT it's all okay as long as amazon still does same day delivery.
