Underestimated

by teachers and parents

Underestimated

by everyone you meet

Underrepresented

in the society,

no say in the decisions made by the adults

Misinterpreted

We are seen as reckless

and untrustworthy

and irresponsible  

We are like prisoners

                                                           What a lie.

We are the leaders of tomorrow

Why can’t you learn to trust us?

Why can’t you learn to see us behind our bars of steel?

We’re right here, our chains dragged across the floor

We are trying to save the world

                                             Save it from

                                                                 You

I refuse to become a pawn

I refuse to become a disciple of a broken country-

A broken world

We are like prisoners

Who never did anything wrong

Underestimated.

Underrepresented.

Misinterpreted.

We won’t have it anymore.
