They treat her terribly
Walk on her as if she does not matter
Walk on her as if she is not made of matter
Step on her like concrete
Disregard her worth
They deface her verbally, mentally, physically
Call her “slut” and “bitch”
Because she does as she pleases
Decide that she is insignificant
Decide that she is not equal to a man
They walk on her like concrete
They forget that although concrete is such a simple mix, it makes up something complex
Something complex enough to be able to support you
Forget that concrete can stand on its own when it does not support you
Forget because they think the only reason concrete exists is to be at their feet
They think her main purpose is to hold them up
Carry them on her back
Unaware that they’re the cause for the street cracks
Because they walk too hard, walk too nonchalantly
Take the artificial granite for granted
Forget that women, like concrete, can be the foundation
And without a foundation, how do you even know where to go?
