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
