NOT

I'm not like you wanted me to be.
I'm not who you thought I was.
I'm not your sister, I sure as hell am not your mother.
I'm NOT your girlfriend.
I'm NOT your best friend.
I'm not your worst friend - your neighbour - your acquaintance.
I'm NOT your problem solver.
I'm not your SCRATCH POST,
I'm not your Pet. I'm not your Toy.

Your babe, your girl, your friend - I am not.

I'm not your fountain of youth.

I am not an Amazon.

I am not a Tiger or a Pussy Cat.

I'm not your release, your escape, your pram-pusher.

I'm not your soul mate,

I am not your team mate.

I'm not your book buddy,

I'm not your boss, your leader, your guru,

I am not your guiding light, stepping stone, dart board.

I am not your farmer or your tender

I'm not your helping hand, money lender,

I'm not your worst enemy -

I'm not your Nemesis,

I'm not your Justice.

I'm not your dealer,

I'm not your 'dealt'

I'm not your opus, your creation,

I'm not your Calphurnia, Desdemona, Beatrice.

I am not your wife, lover, daughter or your equal -

I'm not a part of your PLAN.

I'm not you're "woman"

YOU are not my "man".
