Respect

So sick of neglect 
		                       Always having hope to be big
                                                       Now I just want to be hid
			    Once a little kid, now a grown man 
				     Just lost all hope
                                                     So I started tying this rope
				            No love 
			      When the family push and shove 
		                    Threat's to be put six feet under
		    The thought is becoming to seem like a wonder 
                                                                 So do it quick
			      Because I've already slipped
                                                               Say I love you
                                                             Don't hear it back 
                                             What I do hear is wind from a crack
			Not from the door, But from the floor
                                            Six feet under, Couldn't ask for more
			        All I've known is love and hope 
                                    But lately all I've been seeing is the end of this rope
