Respect who?
  I began to think it was normal.
  To enter the hell I called home and fear,
  That one day I may not leave.
  Fights day and night by people,
  who I was supposed to respect.
  Respect.
  How am I to respect the one who scarred me for life?
  How am I to respect the one who can’t control his anger?
  How am I to respect the one who tried to take me away?
  I have no respect for the man who ruined my family.
  Who made it impossible for me to trust another.
  I have no respect for the man who said he would be there,
  but decided he no longer wanted to be on earth.
  How does a child recover from a parent changing her life forever.
  If you find the answer to these questions let me know.
