Respect
Respect R-E-S-P-E-C-T
We are told that we must respect those that respect us
But in all honestly we should just respect
Respect somebodies struggle
Respect the lady that just got on the bus from a hard days work
Respect the single mother in high school
Respect the thought that jesus might not be the lord and saviour
Respect your body
Respect
Society tells us that respect should be earned
when in fact it should be given
When you give you receive
and when you receive you receive that respect
We always talk about wanting respect
and having no idea what it looks like
It not only angers me that my generation is wasted with the idea that
respecting others can only get you so far
in reality it gets you the furthest
Respect is the way you carry yourself
Stand tall love yourself
Respect R-E-S-P-E-C-T
