What brings you here?

a simple plea

Don't you see, in front of you,
is only a slave, begging to serve,
not because you yell or holler
not because your whip will burn and bite,
but because of simply who you are,
i submit, i surrender,
because you are you,
and while you may wish to yell,
you should know,
that i will be so in front of you,
quietly and simply,
because you are a man.

When you do feel you must yell and holler,
then there is fault in me,
and in turn, fault in you,
i do not submit,
i do not beg to serve,
because you are loud,
because you may beat me,
i submit because you are a man,
because i am female,
my place in front of you,
is one of begging,
of gratitude to be a woman
to serve that which is man.

Can't you see, simply understand,
if you must try,
then simply why is it you are not,
if i must try,
then why is it i am not,
nature speaks of an order,
my place in supplication,
if i must be reminded,
then i do not know it to begin with,
so yell if you must,
prove your loudness, your strength,
i will be quiet,
it is my place
in simple servitude
to be pleasing to a man.

In what will i see,
there is happiness and lonliness here,
there is either raw truth,
or there is deception,
i simply made a choice,
to understand what is inside,
to be what i am,
it is foolishness of me to seek you,
for you will be who you are,
you need not change or be other than yourself,
and in that, neither should i,
so that girl in front of you,
the one who is timid,
you did not make her that way,
she is only herself,
she serves because it is her place to
she serves because you are a man.

With eyes open,
see her or dismiss her,
she has heard those that yell,
she has cringed and cowered,
not because she fears their words,
but because she sees their ignorance,
at times she may wish to run and hide,
simply because,
she does not understand why they must yell,
why they seek so hard to try,
that fact deludes her in misery,
leaves her speechless and breathless,
for she sees fear in their eyes,
they do not seem to understand,
with all the yells and beating,
they need only be a man.

They pull the curtain about them,
strong words and claims of fame,
they think they hide so easily,
the fact that will only bring them shame,
they seem to think he who yells the loudest,
in the end will win,
they delude themselves,
somehow thinking it proves them to be a man,
but in truth,
in simple nature,
they do not pull the wool over,
they only show their scam,
the simple girl in front of them,
needs not be offered proof
they need not yell words at all,
they need only be a man.
