Millennials

College isn't for me

So it means I'm only worth $13.50

An hourly wage to avoid being a slave to a job I hate

and loans I can't repay

Having fights with myself on if I'd rather save some money or let Xcel turn out the lights

I have plenty of skills but without that piece of paper it all means nil to

The suits who will take the airhead with a degree who's never had to work

As hard as me

The cost of living keeps rising and generations before us keep denying

Their part in all the things that have helped make our lives hard

"We're inconsiderate and selfish"

But no one has really ever stopped and asked how they can help us

So we do things for ourselves which only gets us more hell

We fear who we are because someone somewhere said something that

scared us

So we yell and we fight and we protest

For equal rights and a better life, it's 2018

And we're tired of starving for the things we need, like healthcare

Because I shouldn't have to decide if that pain is really there

If I can't afford my copay what makes you think I can afford a penalty

come tax season, thanks I could've used that refund

Millennial's are suffering mentally

Anxiety, Depression, and fatigue

Chased back with craft beer and legal weed

That we somehow scrape together with our $13.50

Daydreaming of the houses will own as we munch our avocado toast at

Sunday brunch slinging back #mimosas&mary's

Snaps and 'grams for our few social media fans all

Before we get back home for some Netflix and Chill

The lonely Millennial hopes this time it's real

The world can be so lonely for us

Because the Millennial heart beats strong for progression and nostalgia

In a world we're just trying to salvage
