Made To Forget About Making Excuses

I was raised by influences to pay attention, Very early in my life. And fortunate to escape from delusion, Earlier than that. Although I didn't know it then, But... Every obstacle that came my way, I had to face. Since there was no one else, To call out for help to play big brother. OR sister. And from the doing of this, I was made to forget about making excuses. Or hide behind lies or alibis, To place the blame on others. With it known that a telling of the truth, Didn't always mean... A relief to ease from an expected punishment.
