Stolen Youth
Despite astonishing personal achievements
They have a taste for something much richer
Their unremitting ambition can never be satisfied
They distastrously misjudged their own blood
We are not like them
And so, they percieve us as simple, rebel souls
What they can't see
What they refuse to see
Is that we try
Our successes outmeasure theirs in every aspect
And yet, we are nothing to them
Despite being condemned to a life of Hell
We have managed to avoid many of the worlds implications
We hold genuine hands of heroism
Both in the scale of our effects
And in the boldness and greatness in which it has been inspired
And now, we can allow the reality of the past
To slip through our fingers like sand
And pick up the lessons from the present
And the promise of love for tomorrow's rainy day
We can live on
Without them
