This generation gives me grief We make jokes to laugh off our pain And the people that say they’ll be here for us Are never there when we need them most We are a generation of giving too much, Not enough, And sickeningly poor timing, Because we are so generous But need time for ourselves when others need us We are a generation of living Too much in our hearts Or too much in our brains Parted in the fact that we’ll never think the same We are a generation of self-love Laced in with self-hate “Loving ourselves” when we use bath bombs But complaining how ‘fat’ we’ll be After we talk about what we ate We talk about people we miss Even though we were the ones to shed the leaf I couldn’t make too many examples of why This generation gives me grief
