Mutual is respect

by muizz (Mark)

CC BY-NC
When word mean few And sorry does not work for the pain they did you You don't reply with its fine You wished it happened to them so you can share what you say is mine Ironically it's selfish But it moral called mutual Sorry is but a prayer Respect is a ritual If you cared after but no whats done is wrong Rather dont make it worse with meaningless song Actions carry consequences And consequence is a whining baby His passiver his dealing with differences And respect would be his bed to rest maybe

Im a seventeen year old who had a passion for writing since the 4th grade I thought it was going to take me somewhere seeing that I was the only boy who couldn't play sports who was born with a soft soft voice and remains misunderstood I have spent my childhood trying to escape every comer of it yet still I have gotten nowhere I still have big dream like making children's dream come true and going to America
