Responsibility for your mentality

The soul is a funny thing the mind a curious thing the heart a powerful thing
       together you would think they would make the most perfect of things but
       though I have seen moments of pure glorious, beautiful shining perfection
       the hours days and months are dominated by monsters alive and well inside
       all of us

       I can't pretend to be perfect my life was great until it wasn't and I had my share
       of bad decisions to make however I always tried to put out good for any bad 
       put toward me which in true irony brought a lot of hate toward me and that
       for a long time weighed on me along with the habits my decisions made

       Then I look at the circumstances around these habits and they seem almost
       acceptable because those of us who keep are monsters in check or have managed
        to only have a secret to hide and not a demon to incarcerate in our soul space
        can't understand things that they learn and see as reality we don't fit in, we feel
         too much hurt to easy and often leave the world by means chosen freely 
         that is another way "only the good die young" is used accurately

         Now no one who reads this will think they are being referred to, understandably, 
         but though that is true it is also false because everyone has the hole opened
          up at some point in their life where pain suffering or just the lack of diplomacy
          manages to rip you open, and you lose some of that naivety and refill it with anger
           and negativity that you put out into the world to grow eventually it explodes into
           reality rather its still with you is of no matter it is you either way and you cause what
          you let hurt you to begin with a cycle that never ends 

         The Heart, Mind and Soul built through experience in life and learning through strife
          so the negativity you let get to you and you don't hold and turn into positivity
          contributes to the life experience of others including me so every time you let 
          that negativity go remember it changes the entire world in that moment you 
           made the world so desperatly seeking light a little darker and your soul a little light.
