I Was Raised By (Poem/Essay)

I was raised by

Strangers in a plastic box warming

Heart rate monitoring

Gentle hands comforting
For a month long
Day and Night shift sharing
Doctors, Nurses and Angelic type of caring

Arms carrying
Munchkin calling
Determination in eyes
Hours of hard working
Motherly love kind of caring

Loud spoken
Witty minded, intelligent;
Rice cooking
Caresses heartwarming
Chime touching
"I love you."
Stern gazing and firm saying
"Do your work to get good grades."
Grandmother sorta caring

Hard-headed
Joke cracking
Game loving
Athletic participating
Usually obnoxious
Although still worth protecting
Sibling type of caring

Formal versus. relaxed
Girl teasing
Anime watching
Battles on Xbox and PlayStation
Helpful and kind
"Let's play!"
Cousin sorta caring
  
Travel guiding
Hair styling
Life saving
Ears listening
Always having a comeback
Auntie kind of caring

Homework helping
Car fixing
Loving fathers
Raising young men
Adventurous and exciting
Always having your back
Uncle type of caring

I was raised by caring.

I was raised by family.

Author's Note

I do not know why it came out so scrunched up like that. I'm sorry.
