We ask to be respected

to be treated with kindness

and tact,

 

It leads me to think when

we ask to be respected

that we are in fact,

 

trying not to force a feeling

hoping to inspire a trend,

yet in the end when

we ask to be respected

 

we truly want it to be mutual

and not a only a give and take

what we really want is

for it not to be fake when

we ask to be respected.
