respect

respect is a tough thing.
its either respect yourself,
or earn the respect of others.
it seems like we dont get a choice.

and i hate this.
but if i have to choose,
i choose respecting myself.
i do the things i do for myself.

sure, i care what everyone thinks.
we all do, its unavoidable.
and yes i feel pressure.
but id rather go through life
taking my chances and regretting
what it made people think of me,
than keeping to myself and regretting
all of the things i missed out on.

and i dont know, maybe
this makes me selfish
or hypocritical
or shallow.

but the truth is,
no one has life figured out yet.
so im gonna try living it
any way i can.
