My favorite thing
Is when adults
Have the audacity to ask
Why we are depressed

Maybe it's because
I'm being deprived
Of my basic human rights

Maybe it's because
I get an average
Of four hours of sleep
Each night

Maybe it's because
I'm slowly wasting away
In a chair
While useless facts
Are being shoved down my throat

Maybe it's because
The planet might not
Survive long enough
For me to grow old

Maybe it's because
I'm seen ask a gas station
For men
And not as a human being

Maybe it's because
I'm afraid to walk outside
In fear of being killed
For being me

Maybe it's because
Of you
And me

But 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
