This I Believe–Takeiya

Posted by jefferson8 on May 21st, 2008

I believe in innocence because people are sometimes innocent in their own way, but in my case it was taken away.

 My reason for believing in innocence is because mine was taken away in a way no one could imagine. People look at someone and suspect that certain things couldn’t happen to that person because of who they are, That’s how people label me, but that’s not even the case.

I believe you can’t tell if someone is affected by something or hurt in any way, shape, or form by the way they look or who they are. To me being judged in that particular way is a sign that people are just being ignorant.  I hate that people don’t know and I can’t say and they do things to hurt me while I’m in this stage.

I believe in innocence in every way. Mine isn’t a part of me anymore. The reason for that I don’t know- I guess it’s because he felt the need to do that at that time. My innocence was my womanhood; I guess you could say that. It was my choice to give that to who I pleased and he had no right to take that away from me.  It was taken while I was weak I and couldn’t do anything about it. It wasn’t my choice. If it was it would have never happened. I’m not saying I really regret him/her but it would have been nice to have planned everything.  For me, mine was taken in the most horrible way, but my situation I know isn’t the worst.

I believe in innocence…I believe my innocence was special to me, but I believe I will stay strong and independent and get myself through every obstacle people throw at me even if I have to go through them alone. And I believe I was INNOCENT.
