“Heres to the kids. the kids who would rather spend their night with a bottle of coke and Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones than go to some vomit-stained high school party. heres to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them. heres to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars. heres to the kids who were never too good at life, but still were wicked cool. heres to the kids who listened to Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV and blame MTV for ruining their life. heres to the kids who care more about the music than the haircuts. heres to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush. heres to the kids who hum a little less 16 candles, a little more touch me when theyre stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night. heres to the kids who have ever had a broken heart from someone who didnt even know they existed. heres to the kids who have read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and didnt feel so alone after doing so. heres to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friends. heres to the kids who are straight up smartasses and just dont care. heres to the kids who speak their mind. heres to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep. heres to the kids who second guess themselves on everything they do. heres to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids that are okay with that. heres to the kids. this ones not for the kids who always get what they want, but for the ones who never had it at all. its not for the ones who never get caught, but for the ones who always try and fail. this ones for the kids who didnt make it, we were the kids who never made it. the overcast girls and the underdog boys. not for the kids who had all their joys. this ones for the kids who never faked it. were the kids who didnt make it. they say breaking hearts is what we do best, and well make your heart be ripped out of your chest. the only heart that I broke was mine, when I got my hopes up too high. we were the kids who didnt make it. we are the kids who never made it.”
