Respect

Respect,
you want it?
Well you better earn it.
I’m not going to respect you,
when you treat me like this.
When you tell me I’m worthless,
when you tell me I’m no good,
when you tell me that I will never be anything.
Have you ever thought about why I act this way?
Have you ever thought about why I talk to you like I do?
You make me this way.
You push me to my limits,
and yet you see nothing wrong.
You think there is nothing wrong with the things you say.
You think I’m the one to blame.
You think its my fault I’m this way.
Well,
I won’t stop.
I will not stop acting the way I do.
Not until you give me the one thing you keep asking for.
Not until you treat me the way I should be.
Not until you give me the one thing Im asking for.
Respect.
