No! I Don'T Think So

Did I learn to be respectful, With a doing of my very best... Regardless of decisions I made, To take steps unafraid in any direction. To then be followed by anyone I allowed, To prove to me their ability to disrespect? No! I don't think so. Did I journey to places near and far, To make and recover from mistakes I've made... Without picking up a few experiences, To know a maturity and wisdom I've gained. And doing this along the way. Did I not identify my purpose to validate, A traveling on paths to remove obstacles I faced... To remove out of my way. And did I not tolerate with patience others unaware, I had been 'there' myself. And familiar with an understanding, Where they were to comprehend. Did I learn to be respectful, With a doing of my very best... To then be followed by anyone I allowed, To prove to me their ability to disrespect? No! I don't think so. At least I don't remember being that foolish, Or unconscious.
