Respect-

Why can't i imagine even a
single person i "respect"
that I'd be able to touch?
uncle, father, brothers,
not one of them i could caress!
thus,
let us find what i respect-
i respect those
i fear!
i inferior am!
who make me QUESTION
everything;
why not you?
honey do i not respect you
why?
is this why i push you to be assertive, "tough"?
for i can not respect one
I DO NOT FEAR?
and thus
i cant touch any of those people
BUT
let us remyth here-
cut the ties that bind-
∞
and now,
heres what i respect-
and a daily habit it is to engender, dear!-
softness,
patience,
empathy,
ability to be held,
honest,
forthright,
NO LIES - well, may be whites!-
FEARLESS
yet(!)
TENDER-
able to cry, oh my dear,
you do cry do not you?
and not only when
glugglugglugglug
OOPSIES i am drunk let me act the way i would never sober
AND THEN
blame the behavior on alcohol and then once again get drunk and do it again-
BORING!-
nay you,
you cry intentionally-
with intent,
with awareness!
Yes,
a life's work here,
to find new modes to respect;
and then?
eyes touch,
smiles shared-
and yes,
i would like to give them food--
aye, i agree
it IS lovely.
A new journey.
Thanks and Warmth and Hugs.napo
