For My People

For my people who dislike today’s music

and will forever love old tunes better

who sing in the shower

who keep the doors to their rooms shut tight;

secluded, drowning in music by underground bands

For my people who’s lives are

consisted of awkward moments

who can’t dance if their life

depended on it

who learn from their mistakes

and get annoyed really fast

For my boys and girls who want to

make it huge someday

who try so hard to make others smile first

who stay true to themselves

who are determined to make a difference

and want things they’ll never have

For my people who don’t wanna grow up

who have no motivation for anything

who aren’t tough

who screw everything up

who have no freedom

and are kept waiting

For my teenagers who can’t sleep

before 10 PM anymore

because their secrets keep them

awake at night

who hate fights

and hate being alone

who live off of twinkies and cupcakes

and don’t know where they’re going in life

For my people who are always friendzoned

who are waiting for that one person to like them back

who are heartbroken and hurt

and constantly made fun of

For my people who feel as if they’re invisible like ghosts

who don’t fit in with their group of “friends”

who get frustrated because they’re misunderstood

who are still insecure no matter

how many times they’re called perfect

and wish they had more confidence

This is for my people
