Hidden thoughts and deadly feelings

Its the generation before us

Stop. Stop telling us what's  wrong with our generation. Your generation, the generation that created us hasn't faced this much discrimination.  We lose ourselves in music, art, religion, in self harm in drugs and anything to get away. Away from this stupid political gain. That you created.  You are calling us distant but are we?  Don't lie to me and say it's the society that we live in. Don't compare us to the past. We never asked to be made like this. Don't you think we rather be greeted with a hug than a fist? At times we don't even want to exist. You can call our never ending cycle of anxiety a cry for help if you trust that this isn't the product of your insatiable lust. Cause little girls are learning it's better to slice and dice than to be nice to the girl who fights to keep it together. Her delicate skin turning thick and tough like leather. I'm sure in a matter of years her pillow will be stained with tears and fears of her peers. I'm so tired of hearing about tough love. Is that what you're calling abuse nowadays? You say our mental health problems are just a phase. Is it just a phase when they kill themselves? because no one actually delves deeper. I used to be a heavy sleeper. If anything life's taught me is that health comes last, mental and physical. I know it's sad and cynical but what are we to do when it's typical.
