Why is society like this??
What happened to your mom being your world
Your dad being your favorite super hero
Your brother being your biggest supporter and protector
Your sister being your best friend

We keep so many secrets now and carry so much baggage
Baggage to heavy for our small and fragile shoulders
Our young hearts carrying so much pain, they end up being devoured by darkness from the core out
Our minds don't race with dreams and ambitions but instead they are filled with thoughts of death and despair
Eyes have lost their glimmer of hope, they are left empty and hollow

We don't make friends according to kindness anymore but instead we are brought together by the pain we share
Parents no longer act as shoulders to cry on, they are shunned and kept out from adolescent lives
Friends are now our therapist hearing all our deepest pains and darkest scars
Prescription drugs are no longer to heal the bad cough but to numb the pain and erase the cynical thoughts just for a little while

We are forced to wear perfect bright smiles
A façade to hide our true selves from the world
We built 6 ft walls to keep out the outside from peeking into what's within
Built pillars that can give was temporary strength since we trust that no else can
We absorbs all the worlds information but never really learn any of it
Sinister thoughts blocking it from coming in
We're carried like ceramic China but no seems to notice the cracks and chips that have formed

We're kids with heavy hearts
Children too damaged by the world to believe in its hopes and dreams
A generation that's slowly deteriorating but no one notices because we've leant to hide well
Adolescents that preach about loving and empowering each other when they can't even love themselves
