Skeletons

We live in a world where people paint your picture. These people teach you lessons that isn't normal and would make you believe that it is. They would take your innocence to make you guilty on something they created. Taking the word precious life and flipping it into darkness, are many people stories. What is life? Is what I ask myself daily. I was taught how to be on the defense line because of the bad and horrific encounters that I had throughout my life, so when they say precious, I don't get that. Being taught to close your eyes and shut your mouth is insane. When you live a life of just being quiet, it could destroy you mentally and emotionally. While you are walking, and the only thing you see is danger zones because you don't know what's going to happen next, that's scary. When you look in the mirror and all you can see is dirt that came from the people who likes to paint your pictures, you ask yourself, why do people like to paint me when I'm dirty? Why do they pursue the opportunity to get so close to me? The last question you ask overall is, WHY? Living in this world full of evil people, the only thing you could do is ask why? Why would make you lose your faith because most why's isn't answered. Sometimes the only thing we need is an answer. Without answers, it's almost impossible to live your life appropriately. We basically live our lives for the people who are painting us. We learn to walk, talk, and think the way they think. They don't want us to ever be able to think for ourselves because if that happens, we could paint ourselves. Once we get that chance to be able to paint ourselves, that's a great feeling, and it's called living. When you are a little girl or boy, you have no say so. You must do what is told no matter if it hurts, and it's not fair. The cards are dealt in your life once you are born. The things that happened was going to happen whether you like it or not, but that's not taught to you. When you a little person, the only thing you think about is fun and school, but with a bad hand, it's taking away from you. The cries and bad dreams become your reality. You don't think about how you can get away because it was installed in you at a very young age. When you think about the bad things that happened to you, it makes you think what occurred when you couldn't remember. Living in the unknown is probably the most sickening feeling that you want to wash away. Having to think about what's going to happen next everyday of your life, is heavy. Anticipating becoming someone's next victim, INSANE. We all have a story that should be talked about. Closing your chapter would be the best feeling you would ever feel in your life, so let's close.
