Respect...

A seven letter word 

but in seventh grade it was a foreign lettered word to me

I was silly goofy and use to laugh at girls

I was class clown and loved the attention

So as you can guess I was sent to detention

I reflect on my middle school years a bit disturbed. 

but I think as a boy I was lost and hurt

My home wasn't great so I had a comdeic fate

like a slippery slope

I fell like a dope
