It’s difficult to have faith in one’s self when your faith has been stolen by those who would play you as the fool.  I had faith a long time ago; For, now is the time I must regain my faith; For, my life cycles through the depression which is brought upon by the lack of faith you have in me.  I have not caused my depression; For, I have created my own optimism to see beyond the ignorance and intolerance you hath brought to me.  For, I have not taken from your home or your heart; For, you have taken from my head, my heart and my hand.  When you return my head, when you return my heart and when you return my wages I may consider you in my arms to hold, to treasure, to love, to respect and above all to give you my tolerance and my integrity; For, these are the things which come to each of us when we lend an open ear and an open hand to each other; For, I am here to lend you my head, my heart and my hand.  I can only hope that these words don’t fall upon deaf ears; For, these words are written upon paper with pen and ink where I share my mind which was so eagerly taken from me; For, a test experiment which I have yet to recover. I do not know if I ever shall; For, those who have stolen these things from me have stolen them from blind ignorance and blind respect for the individual just as they have stolen a man’s identity.
