I'm Only Human

Respect

I respect you

And everything you do

Even though you hurt me

For you have spread lies 

And what's between my thighs

Caused you to be something you shouldn't be

Your hand would feel around

I didn't dare make a sound

I was so frightened and scared

And when they didn't believe

The words I would conceive

I felt like nobody cared

But you've earned my respect

Even though you wrecked

My self-confidence, my self-esteem

Because I know what you did

When I was a kid

Only caused me to dream

I dream to be better than the monster you are

And even though your actions left a permanent scar

I will not let you win

For I am far better

Than what you said in that letter

For you have committed the sin

You hurt your daughter

In ways that a father

Should never, ever do

And even though

It doesn't show

I still respect you
