Heart of a Gen-X Survivor

We are the forgotten.
We are the ones not wanted from birth.
We made it against all odds to be born.

We are the remembered.
We are the one remembered once we matured.
We will be remembered as the ones who gave but did not take.

We are the disinherited.
We are the ones who have no legacy.
We are the ones who have to create our own.

We are the pillars.
We are the reason today remains rich and fat and content.
We want our due.

We were told lies.
We are the ones who were promised a future.
We are the future we do not want.

We are the survivors.
We have survived....

Every lie.
Every disappointment.
Every bit of exploitation from greed.
Every trap to keep us in our place.
Every mistake made by those before us.

We are the future you deserve.
