Insecurities In Society


The fear of not upholding to their standards.

The anxiousness of saying the wrong thing.

The pain that depression causes.

only a few examples of symptoms crippling a generation.

Older generations looking down on us as were nothing but scum,

Younger generation looking at us like were stupid.

But were much more than eating tid pods or self absorbed cell phone users.

We're children who had to grow up at a young age.

We're children; robbed of a childhood.

Yes, but now we're thrown into 'adulting' and we think we're nothing but failiures.

Looking for people; anyone really; who will teach us.

And there are people out there who will teach us how to:

budget, change a tire, do taxes

Lord bring us the mentors who will show us grace instead of greed,

peace instead of pride, kindness instead of killing our inspiration and ideas. 

Show us that we are not the only faith in humanity.

I like being able to form truth and an image with my words. I live stringing them together and allowing yo reader to get something different or it touch them in a unique way.
