Do I Intimidate You?

Do I intimidate you?

With the way I wear my skin 

Do you fear the way I stand? 

Because I don't let my insecurities win

 

Can you handle the way I walk 

like I've got red carpet beneath every step

Or do you just like to talk 

about how much better you could get

 

Do you judge the way I speak 

because I'm always ready for a fight

Would you prefer a smaller woman 

who can't speak without fright

 

So do I intimidate you? 

With all my loveliness and pride 

Or do you just really wish

you were along for the ride

 

I find I simply don't care 

which image of me you choose 

Because life is a game and you're on a path 

Where I hate to tell you, you lose
