I wonder if I was born
Into a "good home."
Would my life be
For the better
Or maybe I'm wrong.

Automatic assumptions
Deeming ones dealings
Right or wrong by his associates.
Tho, how can they judge family.

You may not consider
They I was raised as being
Substantial ones means of living
Were harsh,poor, impoverished
But, what material needs I lacked
I found that love substituted them.

Now I may not be raised best,
And I have been through stress,
But I can cope with the tragedies
Of this world, this life, this time.

I've been equipped with strength
I won't fold, crack, bend, or break
Under pressure or adversity.
What is a run uphill to the one
Who lives on the mountain?

So before you pit me against
Your standards your rules
Your regulations and your test.

Take a walk in my shoes
See if you can live my life without
Compliant, and go through my pains
And struggles of the day to day world.
Consider my options and take into
Account my life and my family.
Will you crack under the pressure?
