The Empty Generation

We fill ourselves up with artificial love Inviting momentary lust in to fill the void We trick ourselves into thinking this is what dreams are made of We crawl into these alluring bed of lies All the while losing our self respect in the process We ignore the fact that this entity is our desperation cleverly in disguise We feed into this superficial mentality What we have to offer is solely a physical bond We give in to the social norms while giving up our morality We live by these standards and start to become hollow Nothing we partake in seems to have any meaning We choke back tears and our reality becomes hard to swallow Lift your head love you have so much more to impart You are more than what you are given credit for Please live life to the fullest and follow your heart I promise you are brighter than the sunshine You bring happiness and laughter to those around you So open your heart to the idea and you will be just fine
