I was raised in values and positivity
Where you're not allowed to get angry
Instead, you become the bigger person
And choose to understand the other person
I have seen kindness and empathy
And never standing against abuse and treachery
That instead of speaking for yourself
I was taught to keep it to myself
I was made a living saint
But deep down I was the exact opposite of saints
That deep within, I wish I wasn't mold to be selfless
Because really, I should have care less
Despite all the good reasons
I was condemned for becoming a different lesson
That instead of empathy and kindness,
I became limits and boundaries
And even if I was shamed for making protection
I would never plan for self destruction
I may be far different from how I was raise
But maybe, I should teach my parents how a child should be raised.
