trained to not feel, I finally learned to feel. now I’ve gone and messed it all up again.

I trained my dog. I taught her how to shake. It was one of the worst mistakes I ever made. She began “shaking” and whining every time she wanted a treat, which was always.
Kacie
I have been trained to be perfect. the perfect little girl, the perfect christian, the perfect wife, mother, daughter and human. I have had to train myself how to break the mold of what I was. It has taken me years to train myself and to break free and run and question and be…whatever I want to be. I have no mold, no set standard that I must succomb to. I am. what. I. am.
Erin
I have yet to tell you
but i forget to be beautiful sometimes
also, the mail will never be checked by me
and my keys are often
in the cupboard below the sink
because my cats food dish holds more
priority
but despite the troubles
we’ll oversee
I think we may be well matched
you and me.
Lili
meeting my personal space, outlined by breath, green, lavender, ice.
Not anyone around, quiet – stillness. Breath. Breath. Deeper and deeper goes the breath and the focus.
It’s pear-shaped. Why? who knows. I don’t care. It’s the stillness I crave. I wish for this absolute stillness all the time. Inside. deep inside of me

what we do to students and athletes alike to try and make them better human beings in this fucked up society we live in. No matter how hard it may be, where we may not be able to do it, we make them do it better and at 110%

like dogs, trained by cats,
who beforehand, had a stronghold on them.
thus, it balances itself out, as always, as ever.
and then we become something else entirely,
made of the two.

He was trained to stand straight.
He was trained to be a gentleman.
He was trained to find a mate.
He was trained to be the best he can.
He was never trained to love.
He was never trained to be loved.
He stood straight.
He was a gentleman.
He found his mate.
But then separate.
He was never the best he can
For he never loved, he was less a man.
daniel
I am a specialist. I am an expert. I can do anything I want to. Put me to the task and it will be accomplished. Walk me through parks and make simple demands. I am the golden boy I am the last scion. I am fucked. I am enneverated. I am you and me and fuckall . Dole it out on the street every morning wake it up . Die.
Jacob
If I trained with a professional three days a week, I might not look like I gave birth to three kids.
MBJ
she was well trained in the art of killing, and it didn’t bother him anymore. He understood it was how she was raised, a part of her, like her hair and her beauty. To him, it made her sexier, like an amazon. She could run faster than he could, faster than he knew how to.
Christina
Where did I train? I trained in the world where I existed. No one knew I was doing it. I was just doing it. It was great, there was no fear. I could do it the way I need to do it. It continued for days, months, years. To this day, I don’t think i’m even finished yet. Or if i’ll ever finish the training. Oh well.
adrian
i was trained to do whatever I was instructed to do.
Howe one is trained to do whatever it is they’re to do
is beyond me.
I malfunctioned
here I am
a left behind piece of machinery.
i was not made into scraps of metal.
i’m far too advanced for that.
Brittany
i was trained as an actress, but now i am a historian. how these two things relate, i’ll never know. but I feel them in my stomach like a good breakfast on a bad day. reminders that i have control over what i do and what i enjoy. reminders that today is a good day, and this moment is wonderful.
Alyssa Al-Dookhi
Trained for what? For this moment? Train station. waiting at a train station. waiting for what? do I get on the train or am I waiting for someone to get off? a lover? a sister? a friend? a father? a person i have not seen in a long time. off the train, steps off myself. myself.
amanda
dogs are trained to tricks and be cute and learn basic things, but so are humans. humans are highly trained, and without proper training would probably uncivilized and live a life with no structure or rules. this makes me think of my sociology class when were talking about norms and deviance in society.

I was trained to be an astronaut in a crazy future world where the planets were filled with animals and marshmallows that led the way to a high that takes you to a world in the past. The drug-faze is so good that you don’t even believe you are the same person, you think you are some magical being and you can do anything you want. You can fly if you want you, you can make people

potty? we must all be trained for many things in out lives…i use rolled up newspapers and little sweets to train the men in my life. it really works…so does extravagant praise. they seem to like it. and pet them too. woof. good doggie! now be nice to the lady!

i was trained in kung fu for many years, but i still sucked, this is because my ancestors cursed the dragon good of dumplings. my great great great grandfatgher was a fool. fuck him and fuck his life. i wish i had dumplings, they sound delish. but not as delish as chipotle. fuck yes chipotle. even though i blow at kung fu at least chipotle will always be nice to me.

I am trained in many things including reading, writing, arithmetic but my soul and my heart have never been trained but have learned and gotten to know the love of God. How awesome that He took me and turned me around with love, faith and belief. Trained in some things, loved in others.

i was always trained as a teacher. although while growing up i have never thpought of myself as one. the first time i applied for a job, i was nervous as hell. i don’t know what to do.. what i eventually did was to think of my fav

He trained every morning, he trained and focused, determined not to fail, not to let him down again. This was his chance to prove that all those years have paid off, today he was going to show him.
Today, he will take his first step… he’ll walk and they will smile!
Riaad
the blind man stood at the back of the church, unaware of the angry, disturbed looks people shot him as they passed, upon seeing the guide dog in a posture of obedience at his feet — the dog which is an unclean animal forbidden to enter the holy places.
Val
trained is a practical way of being able to tell others around you that you have knowledge, knowledge which is highly applicable to the moment at hand. it is not a way of showing experience, for anyone can be trained but few people can perform what they have been trained to do, at least without practice.
Mike Emerson
He trained his eyes on the boat. He was looking through the bay windows, out over the docks, and into the harbor. There it was, struggling through the ice. “The boat’s comin’ in!” he shouted to the rest of the bar. They didn’t look up from their drinks. The old man was just stating the obvious.
Robert Gehl
She had trained under Raj for five years. He had taught her all she knew now, all that made her a successful athlete today. It pained her to see him in this condition…
Lizzetu
last week i went to the place
where i got trained.
trained in the specialties that don’t specify much
except how to live the life we were meant to.
to train, the train, i need to get off
this train and find where i was supposed to be.
plain and simple, simply trained, exactly where it was concocted. the train.

ive been trained to do what im told. not told with words but told through society. we are all in the same rut trained how to live our lives. go to school, get good grades, go to college, graduate and then get a job. dont take time off, dont be an individual. do as youre trained.
carolyn emily
to have someone assist you in “learning” how to do something new to you! Potty training…..oh what fun!
Amanda
trained. this makes me think of operant conditioning because i’m interested in the idea of training dolphins and other marine mammals. it also makes me think of something a lot of human beings try to do to each other even though we have our own minds. we’re always trying to mold other people into who we wish they were, who we think that they can be, but people have to change on their own in their own time and only if they want to. dolphins are easier. you can reward them with fish.

the dog was tired of being trained by the hired help. Once more the woman beat him with a rolled up copy of La Gaceta. If she was going to beat him with the written word, It should be something he could read coming at him.
Megan Kissinger
Why are we trained to do anything? Shouldn’t we just be able to have a situation and deal with it as we see it at that moment. I believe training anything fits us to a mold. Then again, things like dogs should DEFINITELY be trained.
meghan
I trained harder than I ever did. Out in that feild where the smell of sweat was as thick as the fog rolling out of the thicket. The sun, the cement, and your energy. Training to become the best in a world where you can only be the best in so many ways. The room to grow.
Heaven
She was not trained in her childhood for this horrible schedule. Her parents insisted on quiet private time- driving their kids to a million activities was not kosher to them. You had to learn to be quiet and still. As an adult, she knows how to be quiet and still. She has no idea how to be frenzied and busy.
Catherine
i was training my dog one day. I had 6 treats in hand and i was trying to get her to learn how to roll over. with the first treat i got her to sit. the socnd treat she layed down. the third treat she went to her back.. the forth treat… she just starred at me. the fifth treat, she rolled to her back. the 6th treat, she got all the way over. she is trained to roll over now.
