Shallow

Strange this generation,

That keeps running away at the sight and smell of a foundation,

Everything is fun and games,

As long as jokes are being cracked, however lame,

The moment seriousness creeps in,

They choose to throw everything into the bin,

This shallow generation, with their petty games,

They'd rather throw everything into flames,

Than open their hearts,

And play their part,

The whole experience makes me feel numb,

But I know it was'nt dumb,

To have felt everything that I did,

I'll always be this person, unabashed and true, zero constricting lids,

This was clearly not my story,

This burden I must not carry.
