Confused with world expectations
For me...
For you...
For society...
respect diminished
drivers driving on which ever sides of the road
they feel like,
leaving intense consequence in homes...
How am I to learn respect?

I do not understand the word,
respect...
Full of complications,
Full of stereotypes,
I want to follow a universal definition
is there one
names slandered,
abused by a bitter tongue
How am I to know a word that has been mutilated?

Today I learned how I treat you...
Compare to a dying person,
Compare to a child,
Compare to a boss,
And compare to myself...
so many lovers live in disrespect for one another
How blind...
their love is loose
ours will not be
I do believe I have potential
It will not be easy,
I may landslide,
But through determination I will figure this word out
Through communication I will figure you out
I am like a flower
Stubborn in the rain
But I wilt
I do not want to be your weed.
