if you stop being entitled
get a little creative.
I’m not entitled,
I growl.
Lyric doesn’t back off.
You are, a little bit.
I don’t think you realizehow much
you take for granted.
For example, saying that
you’re not “super rich”
but have always been financially “stable”
is a really privileged position to be in.
You’ve never had to worry about
your electricity going out
because the bill wasn’t paid
or running out of groceries
or spent the Christmas holiday
wondering if there will be any gifts
or even a treea turkey.
And now, you’re faced with a NO
from parents that have given you the world
and you justgive up
because, what—
it’s going to mean working a little harder?
Trying to figure out a solution on your own?
Get over yourself, Juniper.
Some of us have been
scratching and fighting for our dreams
since we were born.
I am dizzyoff-center
