Respect

What does it mean?
What shows
How does it feel
Is it even real
Do we love
Those respect
Or respect those
We love
How do you show
Feel
Receive
Respect
Do you respect 
Those you fear
Show them
What you would show 
Someone
That you did not 
Hold to that high standard
Fear
The gift of fear
Careful
Forces
Those we fear
To be careful
To protect
Themselves
To be there
And show the shadows of their
Own demands
The respect
Of fear
I respect fear.
Showing 
Fearing 
Respecting
Never seeing 
Behind the smile
That once scared
The pain 
Out of the skin
Showed the smile
Away from the higher principle.
