I am not your Rose and You are not my Man

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 sex 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
