Words are the source of misunderstanding – Keyukemi

Hello my lovelies okay this is something I wrote a while ago. I didn’t like it at first but I’ve been encouraged to put my writing out there so I hope you guys like it too.🌻

We are the children of the broken generation. We are the children who have experienced life in it’s realty. It’s true form. We are the children who have come of age before we truly mature. We are the ones born into an era of sexism, rascism, gender inequality, homophobia…. hate. We have one mission; understanding the universe. But we have come to the realization that there are some things that one cannot truly comprehend and that these things will forever be out of our grasp. Tainted is one word you could use to describe us. The future nestled on our shoulders, our youth a constant reminder of our responsibilities. How do we make a future for ourselves when our parents are the only determinants on whether we’ve been groomed properly or not? Our presents are already marred by the sins of our fathers. We try so hard to pretend that we’re okay, that we’re not slowly losing our minds. We almost never talk about our feelings. We tell a million different people how we feel about a million different things but when it comes to the real us, how we really feel…. we’re lost. I guess that’s why we listen to the music we do. The music does it for us. We live in a generation of not being in love and not being together. We make it feel like we’re together but we’re not. Maybe that’s what makes us and at the same time breaks us. It’s a melancholy, enigmatic you might say. We are broken but it is this hurt that makes us whole, that defines us. We’re broken yet whole,shattered but still strong, divided but united.... lonely together. One may not appreciate the true beauty of this situation. Perhaps these are just the words of a confused black teenager struggling in the world but it is a beautiful confusion. One that may never be truly understood but I guess that’s okay.

xoxo,

Keyukemi.
