Respect

The world is a cruel place,
That needs much respect, 
As bad things can happen,
When you would least expect, 
It comes as a shock,
Like a bolt out the blue, 
Your life spirals down, 
And what's left is on you,
To pick up the pieces, 
And somehow connect, 
The pieces together, 
Your new self respect.
