Why I Write
Throughout our younger years we have many people that help us learn
Whether it is right from wrong, compassion, patience, or even about religion
While our minds develop, we intertwine these basic teachings in with our personalities
Some of us are very similar to what we are taught, and others are the opposite
To blame others for what we have become is incorrect, to not blame ourselves is also incorrect
What an individual has learned is right does not always feel good, but what an individual has learned is wrong can feel good
How can it be that our mind, heart, and head can deceive us like this?
What is right should feel good and what is wrong should not feel good
Could this be due to the fact that each person has his or her own personal rights and wrongs?
The people that steal, lie, or cheat tell others to not do those things
Judgment is casted over all aspects of individuals by other individuals
This disease can turn people into fighters or drag them down to the dark
A big hooray to the fighters while condolences are sent the way of the ones who are gone
The only cure for this disgustingness is dependent on the individual
Interesting how those who come from a strong family can become the weak and those who come from a broken family are solid
So these teachings can continue to spread but the true individual is going to be there
Something so good like this, is right
This much love, is right
All the smiles, laughs, and even the pain is right
What has been taught is that she is wrong
What I have learned is that two people of the same sex are to be nothing more than friends
The disease that has spread to me has made me a fighter
Almost two years we have fought together side by side and neither one of us has shown weakness
