There's no god. There's no religion. There's only life, what you do with YOUR life, who YOU let affect YOUR life. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to learn to deal with them.

I am a canvas
That can be painted on over and over again.
But what was painted before
Will always be there.
And it will never disappear.

The author's comments:
You have the choice of who influences your life. Don't let the wrong people influence you, because once they leave their mark, it will never go away, no matter how much you try to cover it up.
