There was a time when ‘rebellious’ was just a word and we never acted upon it Where having dreams were just as normal as walking to school, and your next door neighbor that you knew since 5,walks with you to school every day It was back then, when we were always told what to do and we obeyed Never questioned nor did we swear We were told that having a diploma will get you far in life, but we were never told that we are going to have to struggle every day how some will have to work part-time jobs just to pay a tuition year while the innocent ones with open hearts fall in the arms of older men who later on marries them just to make them sex slaves for little money We were never told that most of us are going to end up fatherless before the age of 18 and how the longest friendships that you thought was going to last forever might end up in being strangers with memories Yes, we know we are suppose to grow up and accept how the ‘real world’ works But how are we suppose to adapt to a constantly changing world, in a generation that not even you would ever completely understand?
