Out of Respect

Emotionally beaten by young people around me,

Painless heartache is breaking me free.

You’re out of respect and I find it so mean,

Breathless heartbeats are obviously seen.

 

I tried to be me in your wondrous place,

You’re bringing me down like you’re in a hazy race.

You are now giving me sleepless nights and dizzy days,

I’m not cozy enough when I’m walking in my outermost pace.

 

Emotionally shattered and seeking for real joy,

Is being a shameful guy my most obnoxious ploy?

You’re trying to put me in shame when I’m in your light,

I will hide now in dark until I’m out of your sight.

 

You can say everything about me,

Old good days will turn to a messy good me.

You can freely talk back when you are at my back,

 

Out of respect is much a controversial and crack.
