Life, Love, and Disaster

i want to be the respect that i expect to see in other people

it is one thing to get screwed by people who do not know you
they know of you. but only through the words of someone else
someone else who gets to paint the picture of you

it is another thing entirely to get screwed and disrespected by people who know you
who know of you. who have seen you. who have been helped by you
disrespect of this magnitude cannot be forgiven

i choose to be respectful. i can't say the same for others
