No matter what happens to us know that I will always be there for you. Remember who you are as a person and no one can take that away from you.

You told me to respect you
But you have no clue what
It is.
Respect is something you earn
Not born with.
I respect my family, m friends,
My teachers and my enemies,
You have no respect and you will
Never have it.
I show respect to those who have
My trust.
Once it’s gone you lost all my
Respect.
Respect is everything to people.
