I'm not invisible

Yes, I'm a girl and I'm not invisible,
I have mass and occupy space
I'm not air that you'll pass through me

I'm not Neo from Matrix,
I can't always dodge you with super-natural flexibility

Yes, I'm walking on the road,
But I was behind a man you gave enough space to walk through

Dressing up traditionally doesn't make me fragile or vulnerable
Do you really think that my spatial sense doesn't work
That I won't know where your bent elbow is directed

No, I didn't push you
I just put my hand in front of me
If it wasn't my hand on you, it would have been yours on me

Not looking at you, doesn't make me blind,
How can you try to avoid the person behind me and walk right into me until I stare you away

Looking down at the road doesn't mean, I can't see you coming
I can also see when you change your direction, stiffen your shoulder or position your elbow

Being a woman doesn't make me dumb
I know what's going on in your mind just by looking at you
I won't shy away from shouting, having an argument in the middle of the road

The worst you can do is shout louder and abuse
Tell everyone that I've lost it but you can't touch me
Go ahead and try to scare me but I'm not losing my ground against you
