young
by Nahko, Shailene & Xiuhtezcatl
is it just me.. or is it this city
lights have been swallowing me..
who would believe this beautiful mess.. could break free
don’t let the concrete tame what was once wild
i run wild no borders and no fences
i don’t want to wait till i get older
let’s not wait.. on hold is killing us
sorting thru the trauma
forced to fit into this boxes.. to be perfect in a world of imperfection
when test scores seem to mean more than feeling alive or finding out what you breathe for
all that i’ve done is not enough there’s too damn much i can’t control.. and i can’t let go
indeed.. begs a nother way 7 bn can leap to.. by letting go
and this is deeper than words..
deeper than depression of the kids in the burbs
depression et al
the pain of being alive
prescribed by a dr but these pills don’t work
josh ovalle.. crazywise.. et al
scars on wrist.. writing suicide notes.. this is your life to live not your life to take
the reason we hurt/die.. humanity has yet to figure out how to speak, to ask why
judgement assumption apathy.. were impossible to name.. they didn’t exist until we allowed ourselves to stray.. so far from truths story until we became the afraid
afraid no more we will rise to unite.. it’ll mean you’ll have dug to the roots of the hurt.. too humanize the pain that we must intentionally uncover
roots of healing.. let’s make sure we go deep enough
and you’ll have returned to the surface.. this tree growing strong.. a new siren in your heart.. humanity will say thank you
