Society mocks
abstinence; but God detests
all fornicators.

God gives us sacred
purity; society
offers sex. Who's right?

When life gives you lemons make iced tea because you make your own paths in life not fallowing behind others, true love never dies, don&#039;t give up on your dreams, if you shoot for the moon and miss don&#039;t worry because you&#039;ll land among the stars.

there's truth to that, i agree. at the end of the day, it's your choice what how you live your life...as long as there's an equal understanding and mutual respect, it's okay... thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

thank you so much. it's something that a lot of teens think about at one point or another, even if we think we don't think about it.

I live by "do as thou wilt as long as thou harm none," so, in my opinion, as long as what goes on in your bedroom isn't hurting anyone, it's okay in my book.

This is something I've been thinking about for so long but struggle to say to express to others. You are immensley talented for portraying this particular issue in such few words. I love it

true love is abstinence, which insures sex isn't all he/she wants.

This is a great way to show the double standard. I love the concept and your elegant word choice. Have you considered writing something similar as a diamond poem?

I like this. I feel that it's your choice on whether or not you want to have sex. You have to be smart for yourself, if it doesn't feel right don't do it.
