I do not want to be your Rose
Or your Aphrodite
Don't call me your Muse
Or baby girl
I want you to see me
For the scar on my neck
The wrinkles on my legs
The flab upon belly
I want you to love me when I am depressed
When I am sick, snot overflowing
Perfectly imperfect and a real fcking mess
Buy me flowers when I do not give you ***
I want you to know me to know me
Not because you want or need something from me
I want you to feel with you heart
And, speak with your chest
Because you to know yourself
I want you to love me to love me
Not to know what love is or to have someone to love you
I am so tired of being the girl that enchants a man
Simply because she is a woman
Don't speak to me unless you want to actually listen
Don't say you understand if you do not care to
Don't ask me my dreams, hopes, fears, desires and more if simply for a second you want to escape this madhouse we are all in
I am a woman
Hear me roar
Hear me be reborn
I am not here for you
I am not yours
I am here for my delight
I am here for my amusement
I am here for my joy
My pleasure
My happy ending
You simply get to be a part of my story
But not my whole story
Learn to love because you are love
Learn to grow because you want to evolve
Learn to listen because you want to also be heard
Learn to be in partnership with a woman because you are a man worthy of her
