This Is How I See Things
written by YouSmileAs_I_Die03:39 AM 3/17/05They say there's no point to life
That we all came from the random coupling of cells
In the primodrial pond scum
And yet you wonder why the teen suicide rates
Are going through the roof
You can't imagine what could make the depression
Rates in adults and teens alike to increase
Ten-fold
Maybe if you didn't compare us to being a speck in
The Greater Scheme of Things
We'd all be better off
Maybe if you didn't force us to act twice our age,
We'd all be just fine
All we've got is seven years to be teenagers and
The rest of our lives to be adults
So why rush it?
But that's only where I stand, just one person out
Of billions, or according to your Warped Standards,
Just another smudge on your perfect windshield |
