Description
I was taught right from wrongBy a murderer
I was taught truth from lies
By a magician
I was taught who my friends were
By my enemy
I was taught to be honest
By a professional liar
I was taught to always speak my mind
By being told to keep quiet
I was taught to be kind
By someone that beat me down
I was taught to smile
By someone who could never wipe a scowl of their face
I was taught to love
By being abused
I was taught to live
By someone who was already dead
I was taught to perform
By someone with stage fright
I was taught to be excellent
By someone that failed in everything
I was taught to rely on only my self
By being surrounded with people
I was taught to be perfect
By those that wanted to see me fail
I was taught to be loyal
By everyone that ever walked out of my life
I was taught to make people happy
By everyone who ever made me miserable
I was taught to control my temper
By those with explosive tempers
I was taught to take care of myself
By those who tried to kill me
I was taught what matters to me
By those that took it all away
I was taught how to be a girly girl
By a bunch of boys
I was taught how bad modern medicine can be
By a drug addict
I was taught who deserved my heart
By having my rib cage shattered
I was taught to stand center stage
By having my shoulders disjointed
I was taught not everyone is as nice as they seem
By having my wrist taken out
I was taught how far people are willing to go
By seeing him dying
This may not makes sense to everyone
But to those it does
They know, just like me
Betrayal is the best teacher
And, what doesn't kill you defines you

I relate to this. But instead of giving a long list of how it relates to me (since i was recently attacked for it) I'll just say job well done.

As much as I want to write an entire paragraph about how amazing this is...the only word that seems to be coming to me is "strong". Fantasic job. Keep putting up a good fight.

Experience a lot of this myself.. the world's such a strange place to expect so much from someone and give nothing in return.

Taught to do this, by this... all mostly throughout the poem. Depending on the subject, it could be a hit or a miss, but make no mistake, this is an ABSOLUTE HIT!
The words written seem so simple, and yet, carry a brutal message to be heeded. I cannot say I've experienced some of the horrible things that have happened to you, but I can truly respect someone who writes about it for the world to see, to teach us some really valuable lessons in life.
Congratulations on obtaining such success by the way, it's well-deserved. From here on, I'll wish you the best in your life and hope things get better. Ciao!

Very lovely. I can relate to the feeling very much. You did a very nice job. I can understand how painful it can be sometimes, trust me. But always remember that your friendly deviants out here will always be here to watch you and give you a little push in the right direction (^-^)
