generation why.
You think I’m fine,
But I’m really not.
The heart rate line you see,
May soon turn into a still dot.
You think I'm on the phone too long.
But I'm trying really hard.
You don't know what I'm going through,
Maybe you should ask.
You expect too much from me,
The pressure's too much.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect,
I know I'm bad luck.
I'm afraid to be who I am,
cause I know you'll judge me.
you've seen the world through your eyes,
But seriously? Just please trust me.
I've sat in my room for hours,
while you were watching shows outside.
Not knowing what a single thing I was going through,
But you, YOU never even tried.
I'm sorry I'm not who I'm supposed to be,
I'm sorry I'm a disappointment.
But maybe, this time, you could hear me out,
And hope I won't let go.
Hi everyone, my name is Dhanvi and I'm a sophomore! I really like to read, write and dance. I love watching Marvel movies and my favourite character is, you guessed it, Wanda Maximoff!
SO, about this piece, Conan Gray has been one of my favourite artists since 2021, and this was I think one of the songs that really set him apart from other mainstream artists. And I was really inspired by his song, 'Generation Why'(GO LISTEN!) and this is just dedicated to all the people who feel alone, sitting on the bathroom floor. You are never alone, and thank you so much for reading!
