Caged bird

You think your free and you try and fly away,

Your leg is tangled but you dont even bother to look.

Head up high, you are your own master,

You spread your wings and fly,

Only to find yourself on the floor again.

I quickly typed up this poem after getting off the phone with TB, hopefully some of you will understand.

I finally understand my sister, and how important it is to be strong with your walk with God. People are weak, fragile, and are easy to give in. It is always important to have stable friends who will be there for you, who will stick together, and to look out for each other. We need each other. I need you.

Oddly enough I have matured. I know what I want and I know what is wrong and what is right. I am on my own and I have no excuse to do something wrong when I know that its wrong. Everyone (hopefully) has a realization in college of who we are, it all happens at different times. We need to open our minds bigger than we have ever done and look beyond emotions and ourselves. We must be great economists and take what people tell us, beware of what will happen to us in the future. We are given advice for a reason, because it is the best thing to do in that situation. Such as “Don’t have sex before marriage.” Just actually think about it, besides the common STD’s. How will this effect your future life? If someday you marry someone who is Mrs. or Mr. Right, only to find that they are bad in bed. How would you know they are bad unless you have actually had some experience. Once we have tried something we will always compare. We will compare pass relationships with our future spouses. This could go on for quite some time, but hopefully you get the idea. It does not foster a healthy relationship. We need to take action and think things through.

We all know that the people we hang out with will effect us and change our development as adults. What we hear, see, and do; will effect our future actions. We must stop and think and wonder, who should I be close to? Who will keep me stable?

If our friends have fallen, they have to pick themselves up. They knew what was right and wrong and they have made a choice. Hopefully they will please stop, think, and slap their head on the wall of reality.

Don’t be afraid to question or to talk to a friend. There is no such thing as taboo to a close friend.
