I refuse to be a checklist: A ✔ for those three little words A ◻ for flowers A ✖ for a gift A 〰 for my time I refuse to be a checklist When my emotions are at stake I refuse to allow you to downgrade me To a piece of paper To be written off As nothing more than a 'to-do list'. A scrap of paper To be thrown away Once you've ticked off each box I refuse to be a checklist: A ✔ for those three little words A ◻ for flowers A ✖ for a gift A 〰 for my time

Checklist
I refuse to be a checklist: A ✔ for those three little words A ◻ for flowers A ✖ for a gift A 〰 for my time I refuse to be a checklist When my emotions are at stake I refuse to allow you to downgrade me To a piece of paper To be written off As nothing more than a 'to-do list'. A scrap of paper To be thrown away Once you've ticked off each box I refuse to be a checklist: A ✔ for those three little words A ◻ for flowers A ✖ for a gift A 〰 for my time
