Disrespect
Disrespect
Disrespect
is all they show.
Most don’t even think
Before speaking
Sometimes I cry an
Ocean and sometimes
I just don’t care
Most of them wouldn’t pay
Attention to those
who are hurt
But to those who
Are completely
Okay
When I go out at night,
I look up and I always
Watch the stars winking at me,
Telling me everything will be okay
Disrespect
Is the opposite of what the
Stars tell me to believe
Sometimes the stars yell out
As loud as an explosion
The only good thing about these
People is that there’s a few that would care
And always will
Live long die fast,
Pretty much my entire society
I live in at this time,
Which would be a long time
All nice on the outside but really
Hurt in the inside
