Respect is being all you can be,
Even if it's "just me".
All you have to be is you,
That's all you really have to do. - Me


Respect is all you need,
Just one simple deed,
To be my friend,
Until the end.

Respect is helping those,
Who are tortured for their clothes,
Picked on for their innocence,
& having nothing but intelligence.

Respect is talking to that kid,
Who thinks failing is all he ever did,
& seeks to end his pain,
Because he never had much to gain.

Respect is loving people for who they are,
Not because they got drunk at a bar,
Or smoked the most weed,
& finds alcohol as a need.

Respect is being all you can be,
Even if it's "just me".
All you have to be is you,
That's all you really have to do.
