why you ask
that we do not tell you
both fear and shame
was all we ever felt
answering with no punishment
because no one is punished
for everything now
is a lie
a big one
we do not tell
we troublesome kids
because you wouldn't understand
yes you have been at our age
but not our age today
with our path and people now
see, we are just trying here
to see and feel
if you'd take consideration
this generation isn't hopeless
this youth have more guts
than you've had making decisions
reckless or careless
braver nonetheless
so here i stop
so should you
comparing your time
to our time now
