I am not a welcome mat
For your to wipe your feet
I am not a chair made to be sat
In as you prop your feet
I am a human being
With a right to what I believe
And with very human feelings
And if you disrespect and humiliate me
I won't discuss it further
And I won't give any reasons why
This is my place as much as yours
And I'm not hurt tonight
