we are blind men walking
This is the end of our journey.
 
 Here, at least
 And none of us can see the way
 that we will never be so united
 and broken at the same time
 
 and none of us will ever realize that we
 are constantly moving and evolving 
 
 and we are just humans who 
 just want to be humans
 
 and we will never fall 
 and we will never be broken 
 because we are teenagers
 and we are constant
 and we are indestructible
 and we can never not be
 Because we simply are
 and we always will be.
 
 That’s all we try to tell anyone
 before they laugh and push us off
 They’re teenagers 
 they think they know
 e v e r y thing
 but, in a way we know what we need to
 and that’s enough for now.
 
 Just listen to us.
 
 Just let us be who we are
 let us know ourselves before we are told
 and retold:
 that person isn’t good enough.
 
 We are not machines
 we are molten lava
 you cannot change us
 you cannot make us something we aren’t
 you cannot move us
 you cannot mold us into what we do not want to be
 because we will burn through
 because we are teenagers
 and we will 
 because we must.
