The Rinse Cycle

From a seed in the womb, once we were thought of, once we were created we have been embedded with DNA from our parents, a part that is in us forever. We talk like them, think as they think, walk that walk, act like them. So is this a good or bad thing? Our actions speak louder than our words. We commit ourselves to society, fall into the whirlpool of what we were taught, what we have seen, what we've allowed. You wonder how and why you just make that choice? That decision. Still continue on with the thought knowing that's not what's right or for you, but yet the urge is so strong. This is what you think is best, what you think you know, because we all think one time or another that we know more than the next. These choices that we thought were for us, that we knew better, turned our worlds upside down. Or so we thought. Have you come to that place that you felt you failed? That nothing was working in your favor? As good as a person you thought you were, always gave, always had a smile, always the kindness, always...always.... always...

We try to fill a void, somethings missing, but we don't know what it is. Try to figure it out but keep on with the cycle. Keep on bumping into that wall, burning up with fire that we keep putting ourselves through. We're not happy nor content, but we just keep doing it, just keep settling. Do you wonder why? Your following footsteps, and it may not be your fault, its just all you seem to know. All you have seen, all you've heard, all you've been taught. Sleepless nights of all the pain, the hurt, and confusion. We want to complain about what's not right, why us, we didnt' deserve this and that, but yet what are we doing to change this cycle? To change how each one thinks, to make it better than what you grew up to. I believe that we all have a story, things happen because they were suppose to, that's our test. Why keep living with all the bad choices, with the insanity of running around in the same circle over and over again. Take what you've learned, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, the goodness, every emotion that has made you mad, made you sad, angry, and embrace it. Grow from these things that build character, this is what makes your skin so strong, your vision so much clearer, your voice being heard over a crowd, this makes you a warrior. Things are always going to happen, some we weren't prepared for, things that may not seem fair, but this is what life is about, to conquer the weaker being, to make it your own. This is your destiny
