HOW WE ARE WIRED UP
<p><br/></p><p>“You are an unfortunate woman whose life is as promiscuous as your mother’s. You better not influence our daughter too.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“And you are a bastard man who beats his wife like a goat. I regret the day I married you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>This was the air we breathed. A domestic violence home. </p><p>This is how we were wired. Fear made our decisions for us, even in our own relationships.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don’t blame us. Only matured men can handle us.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“How dare you walk away when I am not done talking to you, -gamb-!” </p><p>Father’s hand landed on her face.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You good-for-nothing, unfortunate human being. You slapped me, and that hand shall never hold any favor again.”</p><p><br/></p><p>You judge me for walking away while you talk. </p><p>Sometimes I don’t want to leave. But it’s how I was wired. </p><p>I wish I could give you peace and love. Sometimes I just can’t control it.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“Ojo is coming! Ojo is coming!” </p><p>In the street, -Ojo- means police. We ran from one hood to another. </p><p><br/></p><p>I became successful, but my woman complains I’m not romantic. </p><p>She doesn’t know my life is wired for running from danger to danger.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“Stop crying like a baby! Are you not a man?” his mother shouted. </p><p>“Do you want people to laugh at you in this house?”</p><p><br/></p><p>He stood there, tears halfway down his face. </p><p>He swallowed them before they could disgrace him.</p><p><br/></p><p>My wife says I don’t talk about my feelings. That I act like I don’t care when things hurt me. </p><p>How do I tell her I learned early to hide pain before it even showed?</p><p><br/></p><p>So now I feel everything. </p><p>But I say nothing.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“Hey, have you seen my lovely husband and I this morning?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Oh sorry, Mother. Good morning to you and your lovely husband.”</p><p><br/></p><p>My wife says I’m romantic. </p><p>She doesn’t know it’s just how I was wired.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>“I blessed the day you walked into my life and changed everything. </p><p>It is hurtful that you are unreachable now. </p><p>May your soul rest in peace.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I was raised badly, but I chose to live well. </p><p>Then death took the joy of my life. </p><p>Now I live with this broken heart.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Knowing the root cause of a person’s pain solves half the problem. </p><p>People grow up in unimaginable ways. Be kind in how you approach them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every person you judge was formed by what life wired them through first. </p><p>If you can’t make their life better, leave them alone.</p>
