Living It My Way..!

I know they don't respect me much

but I have great respect for them

not because I would like to

but because

they deserve to be respected

I know they don't give me their attention

but I give them mine anyway

not because I would like to

but because

they deserve to be attended to

I know they don't care for me

but I care for them anyway

not because I would like to

but because

they deserve to be cared

I know they don't honor my choices

but I respect theirs anyway

not because I would like to

but because

they have the rights to choose

I know they don't love me

but I love them anyway

not because I would like to

but because

I know the feelings of

not to receive something that one deserves
