Kill ’Em With Kindness

If you shook my hand

Would our eyes meet

If we were just strangers

That passed on the street

Would you smile back

Or look to my feet

If we were friends

Would you be discreet

Or know me openly

Through my defeats

If the train was crowded

Would you make me a seat

Or spread your legs wider

Be block up complete

If we’d just met would

You be willing to treat

Me with respect or

Just make me petite

If you are lesser and

Choose to mistreat

Know that I’ll best you

With a smile so sweet
