Dear Millennials
Dear millennials,
I'm lost
Lost in the cost of what I can lose
Anxiety and fear the fear of anxiety
They read your life like an open book
But the book isn't really open
They are reading you watching you..waiting
waiting for the page to turn
The mask that we put on every morning is the same mask we take off every night
We are a story that keeps going on and on and on
We are standing out in the open crowd
Welcome to the free show
Today we have fake smiles and waves
We say we are sad and depressed
And yes we say our life is mess and we are full of stress
That we want to die and that we all cry
But really we're sitting staring at a screen
This is the never ending web of teens
Let me like that post and retweet that tweet
Oh my gosh that is so me
Please send me another meme
I type l.o.l with a straight face
Sometimes our generation is a disgrace
We want to experience explore and be free
We expect change
But how can this be
When all of us bring down each other's dreams
