  1. Cracking his knuckles he winced at the memory of his father. The cracking he had aped. He stretched out his fingers. No more.

  2. Raised is the past tense of coming up. Once something is raised it is up. But does that mean that being raised is always good? People often say, “That’s the way I was ‘raised'”. But what if we weren’t raised? What if no habits bad or good were instilled in us? Would we raise ourselves? Would who we are be a manifestation of what our brain functions are without the influnce of the outside world? We have been raised to a certain extent but can we let go of what has been instilled in us and continue to “raise” ourselves. Food for thought.

  3. I raised my glass, albeit hesitantly. I should be happy for him, but a part of me felt cold, burdened with the memories of a night that shouldn’t have happened. I was happy. I had convinced myself, time and again, this time was no different. Surely.

  4. I raised my head and looked up at the sky. It was dark and smokey, like someone has set the forest on fire. There were no stars in the sky. No source of light. I looked around me confused. Where was this place?

  5. I didn´t know what to do or what to say. She was so beautiful where she stood all alone in the dark. I have been raised to be patient and nice. I have been raised to always think twice before doing or saying something, but now I was totally blank and I wanted to be spontanious. To just reach out my hand and touch her pretty face even though we didn´t know eachother.

  7. that’s the root of the problems. it’s how you’ve been raised. how your parents’ve been raised. and it all goes back to those ancient goons, whose irrationality is still based upon the upbringing of their gullible parents.

  9. From the dead he was raised.
    raised to walk the planet again
    To again be part of the living
    and for them to be part of him
    as he was never complete
    death tolled on him and pulled him down
    so he clung to life and the living
    to keep him living
    some call him hateful things
    but he is just he
    but they call him other things
    like zombie

  10. i wanted to know what it would be like to raise children different than I was raised. it wasn’t hard to indoctrinate a broad view of acceptance, a lack of fear of things unknown, and a general love of learning. these were her supreme goals. she may feel lacking as a mother at times, but it was ultimately beautiful.

  11. I was raised by a strong father and a mother who found her strength after I was already formed. I was raised in the bible belt and didn’t know any different for years and years. I was raised one way and learned I wanted to raise my children differently. I know that I am already doing things right by them. They have clear eyes and don’t see differences as obviously as I did.

  13. I was raised in a very conservative, strict manner. She was raised with little to none authority. People always said that she would be a failure, that she would amount to nothing. But she ended up flourishing in creativity, and set forth a whole new movement. I knew how to follow rules, she knew how to create her own.

  14. I’ve been raised by two amazing people.
    People I love.
    But it’s time they let me go.
    I need to choose my own path from here.
    I need them to let me go.

  15. I remember when the little baby was born and you were stressed out all the time. Was there food? Where were blankets? Everything was full of danger, a possible poison. After a little while, you were reconciled with the world and remembered to pay attention to the little person growing up, show her a bit of joy. When she laughed, it was sunny.

    she reared me that way

  19. raised to love the wild. To pad around the house with nothing on my feet and wish i had grass between my toes. Sitting on a rock listening to the chirps of the chickadee that my mother would imitate to make me giggle when I wouldn’t stop crying. My grandfathers ghost emanated all things natural and made me yearn for anything that could possibly link me to him. Princeton man. Economist. Bird lover. Traveler. Quiet. Patient. He died the day I was born, and I always imagined sucking up a small part of his energy during my first breath. Between the thighs of a woman I would never know. Delivered to my mother and father days later like a pretty little package all wrapped up. I little chunk of soft flesh and dark matted hair. I looked up at my mothers feather-soft blonde lochs and deep sapphire dripped eyes. Love at first sight.

  21. I was raised by a village. My entire community served as mom, dad, aunt, uncle, sister, brother. Every person I met became a mentor, and every person I loved loved me back.

  22. When Eileen felt him grab her ass in the crowded club she raised her tail and sprayed her noxious scent. The hipster cowered and retreated.

  23. I was raised in a broken home, but to me it seemed like the most whole home in the world. I had a brother and a sister anyway but the end of my parent’s marriage meant a new brother and sister, a new dad and a new mum too! As well as all the people I already had. What’s broken about that?

  24. I was born and raised in the backwoods of Charles County. Mountainland North Carolina. My pa was never much for new ideas, saying “Them Yanks up Nof’ got all the new doo-dah, let ’em keep it up there.” I however was captivated by it. Nothing seemed to excite me more than running into to town to watch the fancy people in their flashy cars ride by with their upturned noses and snobbish frowns look down upon us poor people of Charles County.

  25. The southerner raised his blue eyes at me. I was surprised. I was sitting in a Texas bar. It was a hot July afternoon. He wore lovely tan cowboy boots, brown leather trousers, red and green striped shirt and a wide brimmed brown hat. I ordered a steak and chips. He leaned across at me and said, “What are you drinking ma’am”? I was taken by surprise. His Texan accent was strong and deep. “It’s ok. I will get my own”. He smiled, “I am offering to buy you a drink. I don’t like to drink alone”. “Ok I will have a diet coke. Thanks”. He moved to my table. I noticed his broad smile. He flicked back his sandy hair. I. gobbled my 10 ounce steak and chips and he told me about his days on the ranch. I was mesmerized. He also told me that he had met Native Americans and slept with them on a reservation.

But, those around me did not know that I saw more than what they showed me, that I saw beyond the smiles and kind perfected appearances. I saw the reality. I saw the pain, the torture and cruelty that hid behind their eyes, The torment within their souls.
