Apparently Upbringing
i will never
say i was ever
beaten growing
up but treated as
in a way as
an equal but
with caution
so to say that
if i were so to
say say something
obscene or inappropriate
then a slap was a given but
this i understood
but i have to say that
there was never verbal
abuse but a talking to as
to do you
know what
you just said
or even implied
so that i was
an open audio
book to be took
or taken for what
i said especially
after being able to
read books such as
1984 when it was only
1970
