Expectations

As a teenager I am expected to conform.

Even though people tell you that you should be distant “stand out from the crowd” the second you do they tell you “what are you doing?”

Why do people put all of these expectations on us about the current state of the world an our own country?

They think that we can just stand by and not talk about it bring attention to what is happening.

But we do care.

I’m telling you now world we care.

And we will not just stand around thinking sweet thoughts waiting for the storm to blow over.

We will go to protests.

We will stand up for what we believe in.

And we will not be silenced.

Ever.

We are a burning flame and we just bust into the world. There is wood and trees nearby so you’d better believe that right now we are about to burst out into a forest fire of protests and we will not stop until you listen. 

This is a call to action for all of us that think that you might not have a voice in this. Let me tell you right now.

You do.

We all do and of all do our part

They will have to listen to us.

  • Every day

    Some days during the last block of school I feel like falling asleep.

    Not because I don't care about school. In fact I want to learn,
