Description
I respect you
Do you respect me?
Perhaps not to the same degree
You’re much older
Much wiser than I’ll ever be
And some how—I feel like
Like I’m missing something I’ll never see
Something lost in the translation of things
Like the Bible
From Aramaic, Latin, and Greek
Languages I’ll never be able to speak
Yet I know how they feel
Being misinterpreted
Their meaning stolen viciously
And turned, twisted into an origami figured image of what you want me to see
Or be something precocious and unknowing

So I bide my time
Listen to the lyrics, your words, on the rewind
Hoping I’d be able to know—
To see
Trying no to do the same as you
Considering what you do is natural now.
In born into the skin—soullessness.
And try to be more understanding than you ever were
And again I ask—
I respect you
Do you respect me?
