Respect Me

A poem about respect.

Respect me,

Every day

In every possible way

Respect me,

My feelings,

My thoughts,

My opinions

Because I am just like you;

We may not be the same

On the outside

But we are all made the same

I don't bother you,

So you don't bother me,

Respect me,

Then I'll respect you

Your words are simple and true. If we respect each other. The world would be a better place. In the end we all want the same. A warm bed, food and place for our family to be safe. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

Wonderful piece! Respect is something that we earn not just given. The world would be much better if people had this for each other... all of us...
Love the message and idea of this poem. =D
Great work! Just lovely!

Respect is usually earned and not freely given, in your last two lines you expect it first so that it maybe returned, that's not usually how it happens. Respect first, and hopefully it will be returned...sometimes not, but then you will know who not to waste time on :) I love this piece.
