The Young Ones

 

Day to day

We cram reams of information 

Into our perplexed brains

 

Adults cheer from the sidelines 

Telling us 

We can get through this 

 

This is a mind numbing ordeal 

 

Pressure builds on us

Giving us hunched backs 

And strained wrists 

 

Yet the adults still cheer

Pretending like we aren’t all stumbling through this treacherous trial 

 

We pray they will someday be able 

To comprehend the stress

The older generations force onto us 

 

Our minds may be frazzled 

And our hearts may be broken 

 

But we are the young ones

Who will never stop going forward
