I am a Lost Cause


I am a lost cause

Because of Us,

No longer can I say that

"I have a place in this world."

And this generation needs to believe

That we are the worst yet

And at giving up

We are the best,

And there is nothing we can do to change that

"We will do nothing with our lives."

Everyone says that

No one should believe 

"We are going somewhere."

It is not a lie that all of us,

Take advantage of people

And never

Have pride in what we do

But we always

Lie, cheat, and steal

And we do not

Have any values at all

We are nothing unless we

Reverse it
