My favorite thing
Is when adults
Have the audacity to ask
Why we are depressedMaybe it's because
I'm being deprived
Of my basic human rightsMaybe it's because
I get an average
Of four hours of sleep
Each nightMaybe it's because
I'm slowly wasting away
In a chair
While useless facts
Are being shoved down my throatMaybe it's because
The planet might not
Survive long enough
For me to grow oldMaybe it's because
I'm seen ask a gas station
For men
And not as a human beingMaybe it's because
I'm afraid to walk outside
In fear of being killed
For being meMaybe it's because
Of you
And meBut will I even live long enough to see?
To see what the problem truly is
Better yet I'll probably be dead,
so I'll just let it be
