Teach me something.
Teach me how to learn,
How to forget.
Teach me how to love,
How to hate.
Teach me how to persevere,
How to give up.
Teach me how to be a man,
How to find my feminine side.
Teach me how to forgive,
How to punish.
Teach me how to be me,
How to be you.
I found this poem in some of my old high school papers. I realize now that some of us just want to be led by someone else. Sometimes we may feel that in order to be better people we must emulate the actions and personalities of another. My desire as a child was to be someone that wasn't me. I felt that I was not good enough for others. As I read those words now I realize that I have become someone else, but it took the suffering of an outcast child to turn me into this ----- man (I won't judge myself by anyone's standards). I learned love from the hate of others, courage from the fear of others, and humility from the arrogance of others. They taught me... and I learned!
