Generation X and Subsequent Victims

by dayglo - Not entered

old habits die some
harder than others
old friends die or they
just go away
we die
we spark and we die
is it all destined to fade away
leaving us with ourselves
to feel pain never meant 
for us or anguish better
left to others more
in need of it
we feel sorry for ourselves
but why 
why must we bemoan 
our fates when elsewhere
people learn the meaning of the 
phrase a fate worse than death
pity us but not for ourselves
pity us for we are small people
with small problems that have
no brainer solutions
pity us because it is all
that we truly deserve but
waste no more than a second 
thought on us because
we will waste no more than
that on you

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this because all too often I find myself
complaining about life in general, and I think that it
is important for us to remember our own insignificance.
