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

Always ^_^ It's so true though.. But it does help us to learn and build upon what has happened to us in the past. I just wish others would keep the past in the past.

I help people more than I let people help me. Mine's something I don't want to relive inside my head.. I'd rather help then get helped most of the time..

I haven't told mine about my past. It's something that never needs brought up again.

This is beautiful and honest. I can relate to you; having been betrayed makes me appreciate the good I have within and the good people I chose as my close ones more.

Thats exactly it...after seeing how horrible people could treat me there is very little I wouldnt do for those I know love me

Same here; my real friends have shown me not all of humanity is worthless, fake and hateable... I don't know where I'd be without them

This is beautiful and it really speaks to me as well. A lot of good life lessons I learned was from what others and/or myself did wrong. It's obvious from reading it that you have as well.

Ive learned exactly what I don't want to be by being surrounded by people that weren't all that nice

This is so sad and yet some of it I understand personally. Most I understand simply conceptually and hope to avoid myself. This is a powerful piece.

This is very sad, and I can undestand some of it.
