Low Down

Do you love me Do you think I am smart Do you appreciate me Do you look at me, what do you see When you hit me does it hurt you When you call me stupid does it emasculate you When I comfort you Am I beneath you When you look at me what do you see It hurts when you hit me It enrages me when you call me stupid It empowers me to know I comfort you Look at me now what do you see I don't love you I am above you intellectually I am calculating, cunning Look at me, my back is the last you'll see. The Love of your life The small contributions you made The small man that you are The minutiae of nothing I walk tall, with a soulful stride You walk fast trying to catch me I am the winner You're a survivor I am no longer broken I am no longer weak I am a woman Then I drop a coin in your cup
