Do U Deserve MY Respect?

Does the verse "To err is human" mean anything?
Do people really understand the meaning of it?
Even the Human League sang the song...
"We are only human, born to make mistakes"
There is no imperfection, just our strive for it
Yet, why it is so hard to be human
The more one strive for that perfection, the more harder to be a human
But it is not hard to be an angel, to be always good in someone else's books
To always be able to please everyone BUT ONESELF!

They said that "Respect is to be earn"
But respect is often given voluntarily at the first glance
Nobody who is ever so wise can detect the evil that lurks
Or the lie that one may do in the next split second future
But when that breach is broken
Can a sincere apology, the heartfelt "Sorry" rectify?

No, there is so much personal vendetta
So much of vengenance
So much of grudges
So much of unforgiveness
So much of prejudice
Growing and living inside, consciously and unconsciously.

Why is the one who always do good, often be reprimanded forever
Yet the one who has proven its evil, often be accepted for who they are
It felt as if, the evil deserve to be evil
Much better, if they can turn over a new leaf
But the good can never be good evil
Or forever be marked for life!

For all the good things that one continue to give and contribute
For all the time, one has stooped low, to say "Sorry"
For all the moments, when one swallow the pride and make the first move
Only to be reprimanded again and again, and so openly obvious.

Just because one is so conscious of a human in someone else
That one give respect, for understanding the dark nature
Just because one apologize, does not mean the one is at fault
That one is just been respectful, that it is amicable.

In many circumstances, one must have often questioned:
"Do you deserve my respect?"
It is not very difficult to find that answer
But the answer might grip the heart hard
And it might take some time to digest it
Acceptance of the answer, is the RESPECT due for oneself
For oneself is far more deserving of RESPECT than being given.
