This Generation

I'm not like these people.
In an enclosed environment full of people my age, with supposed similar beliefs,
I find that I'm not like any of them.
I don't feel the need to rely on others just to get me through the day.
I don't feel shaken by my doubts or valid doubts of others.
I'm not scared of life outside of an education system or my parents' house.
I'm not afraid to say no or yes.
I'm not afraid to BE ME.

Being me means that I have doubts, fears, and struggles.
But being me means that I'm okay with all of them.
Is everyone in this generation incoherent?!

At least in high school I could escape from these people after the eight hour day was done.
I feel suffocated by kids whose parents never let them grow.
And now they cling to anything that's even remotely stable.

These kids are so called "adults".
Then why don't they think for themselves??
Why don't they rely on themselves?
Why don't they believe and trust in themselves when all they truly have are themselves?

They're so brainwashed by society.
It's sad.
It's painful.
It's pathetic.

Everything inside of me screams out for something more.
Why aren't they screaming too?
Where's their inner self that is yelling to be FREE?
Or are they that far gone?

Is there no hope for this generation?

They'll cling onto Mommy and Daddy.
They'll desperately cling onto their close friends.
Then they'll find that right person in their life that they can desperately cling onto for the rest of their lives until one day they wake up and realize that they spent their whole life clinging onto everything around them and never found true happiness or self-worth.

Or worse yet, that they'll never realize it.
