Poem 3.

You’re right. No one told you.

By JulithaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Youth.

Inhaling Gas lighting,

Too anxious to stand nail biting,

But I got the brands fashion sighting,

I wanna dance but brothers and sisters are fighting,

Stop lying, you’re not trying.

Hung over in bed my dreams flying,

I work to pay the bills, but they bills me buying,

Struggles taking over,

I got no money but I cant afford to be sober,

She told me she was a bad bitch like a cobra?

But her mental instability caused her knowledge infertility,

Willingness to change even if trumps in the game,

All my mains aren’t actually my mains,

Jumping in front of trains,

Eating our brains these phones,

Am I the only one with weak bones?

Coz they won’t climb trees,

These children aren’t turning into men,

The things we believe we don’t defend

Coz I wanna be a cool cat,

I need a map - hearts like tree sap

Backwards caps,

No longer naps, they didn’t charge their batteries,

Hoes working in factories,

Watching my videos online but now they’re no longer mine,

Trust? Fuck what’s that? The cages in schools need to bust,

Making a fuss? Stop it it’s nothing!

Says who?

Everyone.

Coz it’s like that now. This is a stage show. We’re all actors takin a bow.

I can’t even afford tickets too.

What the fuck are we being put through?
