I Am Not A Dishrag
You are just a prop in her life, Cody.
You are there to help her work through things.
That's great; one problem.
I am not a dishrag.
I do not serve as a free form of therapy.
I am not just a service to help girls learn about themselves.
I have feelings.
I get attached.
I want reciprocation.
I want affection.
Sometimes I'm the one who needs help.
Sometimes I am not just satisfied with knowing I helped.
I am not your valet.
I am not your counselor.
I am not your validation on demand.
I cannot even fathom why you think can just take.
It's because I can't give, Cody.
If you can't give, why do you think it's ok to take?
I will not always be ok.
I won't always get over it.
I won't just understand why you can't be there for me.
I am not just a rock to be your stability.
I am not just a blanket to give you comfort.
I am not a flipping dishrag.
anger. it boils.
