ode to undesireable things

                                             I love when people are manipulative and selfish

It’s my favorite when rumors are spread about me

I find it charming when people share personal aspects of my life that I trusted them with

Boys only wanting me for my body is one of my more preferred traits of my generation

The beautiful God given world has been destroyed because of us

It seems we bring nothing but destruction

Harm, hurt, and sadness

We are only product of the system

We’ve been taught to seek happiness in materialistic things 

and destroy life in the process

We were never taught that contentedness comes from passions, loved ones, and the little things

We put our guards up

Attack before we get attacked

And sometimes hurt those most important to us

We hurt others when our intent was only pure

We sometimes feel we’re not good enough because of those who appear more “perfect” than us

It feels like there’s often no way to win

yet I still see most people purely

Kind

Generous

Able to love unfailingly to anyone worth the energy

And even to those who aren't

Gentle

Passionate

Beautiful souls pass me in the halls

Perfectly imperfect hearts

Each with our own baggage that makes each individual their own 

We are a flawed generation

I know it to be true

But were all trying our best to make it in a world this cruel

We are a flawed generation

Products of a dysfunctional human race

And the world is tough

But we are enough

And we are all trying our best
