Millennials

You've set me up for failure
Long before I was ever born.

You gave into the allure
Of creating a better future.
But now here we are,
Facing the consequences of your scorn.

You expect so much of us so soon,
Little do you know we are capable of much more.

We have come to now settle the score,
We shall surpass all those who came before.
Our time beyond tomorrow
Lies in wait for us to open the door.

You bestowed upon us so much sorrow,
But soon we shall rise to the height of our lives and soar.
