Doing Things Hard

America had it right years ago
But its in the history books, that’s as far as we know
Now things have changed
Teens, are told to not be challenged

What would happen?
If we took an empty book and cracked it open?
Filled a page, or so it may seem
Our society, it sounds so mean

To start, lets look at the pilgrims
Starting a new life seems pretty grim
From the Civil War to the Regression
To WWI and the Great Depression

Did teens do things hard out of necessity?
No, but as a way of life so you see
Society claims we have a choice
To speak up, to be a voice

Change it around, let others see
How the life of a teenager is meant to be
Get rid of the myths, lies and excuses it brings
And start living your life by doing hard things
