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 Β
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 know how all of that goes. However, I wasn't strong enough, and wound up dropping out of school, later on college, and pretty much society as a whole. I live a very reclusive life now. Granted, that's not to say I don't still go out and have fun, but my only REAL link to the outside world is the computer/online video games.

I have my husband, and it makes me paranoid crazy whenever he leaves. But he's good. And he's patient. So everything works out in the end. And I can't complain about the things that happened to me. They made me who I am today. A bit unstable and paranoid, but XD it makes conversations with myself more interesting. LOL

Good keep your head held high and never forget where or who you came from but always remember being good is better than living a life full of evil.

That's my goal...to live a life with minimal evil that is

It brings less regret and turmoil, living is better than death, but even in death being good shall bring you more than being that of evil.

I love this.
There's a mountain sized grain of truth in this work, and a lot of it is hard to swallow for most people.
Sometimes the most drastic, negative, is just what we needed to learn from and learn why we should be much more positive about
the events or circumstances that mold and shape who we are or who we want to be in life.

Sure! It's a great poem. And leaves a message. I keep thinking about that, 'cause it's true.
But it makes us stronger, and that's important
