Everyday is the same thing 

we wake up depressed 

with their mountains of expectations holding us down.

Making our little heads fall in the water. 

We are gasping for air 

to scared to ask for the help we all desperately need. 

You tell us how to feel. 

Oh god, how we wish we could scream. 

Scream for us. 

Scream for them.

Scream for the injustice and the mess left for our hands

to pick up 

even though we have demanded change. 

They are ruining our future. 

And all we will be. 

But we are just a couple of teens 

we still know nothing. 

Yet we ask you to stop your mass productions 

to save our dying world 

beg for you to treat us like we all deserve life no matter our sex or race,

no matter who we chose to love.

You still fight these ideas we chant at you 

as though we are the stupid ones. 

You can't admit your own faults and see that we are dying. 

It’s you to blame

you ignore our pleas to save the trees.

Don’t listen when we beg you to stop killing our colored brothers and sisters.

You mock women when we demand to be treated just the same as you. 

We will scream

and cry. 

Riot

and protest.

We will not stop 

until it gets through your thick little heads 

that we are all humans 

trying to love 

all the shapes and sizes that we come in. 

You only protest us because we are no longer falling into your box 

that’s been carefully schemed to keep us confined. 

Not anymore. 

We are human. 

And we will scream.
