'' Respect Is A Gift I Must Earn '' Poem by Bri Mar

To fulfil your desires,
To climb those spires,
Your spirit must come to the fore,
To light those fires,
What one requires,
Is the urgency and the need to explore.

Learn from perception,
Avoid misconception,
Deny those who live to deceive,
Make no exception,
The art of deception,
Is in making their subjects believe.

When mistakes occur,
Make them your spur,
To admit them and face them head on,
If you concur,
The truth you can't blur,
It's an honest life you will spawn.

Make your own rules,
Don't listen to fools,
Their influence can spread far and wide,
They have their mules,
But you have the tools,
To prevent them from getting inside.

Never be afraid,
You can make the grade,
Regardless of what others might say,
Those negative, evade,
Ignore their charade,
Forever you'll keep evil at bay.

Choose love over hate,
For the life you create,
Is dictated by what you choose to learn,
It's for you to state,
It's not up for debate,
