I am not a charity case. I will not be liked or loved Because I am so weak. So weak, that I make you, The martyr who bears me, Feel strong.  That I give you purpose. I refuse, to let my table be supported By you and your makeshift table leg. If anything, I pride myself as an individual. I am strong. I am independent. My happiness, not unlike The spinning center of a gyroscope, Is existent entirely independent Of your influence. I don't need you. I want you. I want you because you are kind. You are genuine, you understand. I want you because you are comforting, You give me that which no other can. I wouldn't want you, If the motives for what you do, Were different than what I'd hoped. Altogether disillusioned.
