Grace abandoned me
It was maybe 2, or 3
Times that we had promised
To make one another complete
But Grace abandoned me
On the sidewalk
To my street
I had no car, no coat, no keys
And she abandoned me.

I push 10 times harder
I get 5 times less farther
Than those who try an inch
And those that never flinch
I want to be The Man
I want God to love me how I am
But it wouldn’t be enough
Since my woe is woman’s hands

Grace and God will laugh at me
Even though she too is a she
Perhaps the best joke ever played
That we can’t be apart of their parade
So they say.
But who is they?
Is it my God, or just the men He has made?
Am I worth as much?
Or just less than dust.
