Analysis of Raised?
I was raised to always remain humble.
27 years later, I begin to crumble.
I was raised to earn before I spend.
Now I seek some guidance to lend.
I was raised to have a kind heart.
It has only hurt me front the start.
I raised myself to never trust no one.
Peoples trust always keeps me on the run.
I raised myself to make new friends.
It's hard to tell which ones pretend.
I now need to raise my boundaries.
And do it just ever so soundly.
Was the way I was raised unjust?
Now it is so hard to trust.
Self esteem and confidence need to be raised.
Lies and treachery should not be praised.
I was raised to question my actions.
When will my feet, finally find traction?
