Respect
At school,
They say be respectful to others
Some oblige, some don’t
It’s hard to be nice to others
Who aren’t
You smile and say you’re okay
When you’re not
You pretend and laugh with others
But instead they laugh at you
Outside, you say you're fine
But inside you're breaking down,
Crumbling to dust
But there are people
Who respect you
For being yourself
Don't let others change you
Be you
