Today's Fears

Teens are afraid
We worry
Do I look okay?
What do they think of me?
We obsess over how we look
We worry that we're not thin enough
We think we need to be skinny and perfect to fit into todays society 
But there's no such thing as perfect
Perfect isn't real
But it's what we try to be

  • In the distance

    In the distance
    Lies a magical fantasy land 
    Where objects talk 
    And dragons fly
    Where dreams come true
    The clouds are cotton candy
    The trees are made of chocolate 
    It's an escape from reality
  • As the Sun Begins to Rise

    As the sun begins to rise
    The birds stretch their wings and wake everyone up with their singing
    The foxes and wolves yawn and stretch
    Ready to look for their next meal 
    As the sun climbs the sky
  • School

    School is a place
    Where we should feel safe
    It should feel like a second home
    We pratice fire drills or lock downs or escape routes
    We think that a school shooting will never happen to us
    Like why this school out of all the others
