To My "People"

You hurt, I feel the pain
You are alone, I know the longing that you seek
You are rejected, I know your suffering
You are hated, I feel the sting that is new with each blow
I know because I am
I feel because I am
I am the same as you
The separation between us though...
I love the God who hasn't changed me
I live for the one that it is hardest to live for
I worship the man whose followers ridicule me

A Lesson Learned

Something that I long to do is to be consistent.
I find that consistency is a hard thing to find in people.
They are one way in one group of people and then a completely different way with another group.
This is what is called leading a double life.
What I have learned is that, in leading a double life, the two separate lives will collide at some point.
You may do everything in your power to keep them separate.
They will meet though.
And at their collision, they will cause tremendous damage.
It hurts not only you, but anyone who is involved in either life you choose to lead.
Scars are carved.
Pain is dealt.
To avoid this catastrophe I will try my best to remain constant.
Be who you are created to be in front of all people.
Not one person.
Not a few.
Not a group even.
To all, be the same.
Be yourself at all times.
