I’m not a monster
I’m not a lily
I’m not a basket case

I’m not going to melt
I’m not going to runaway
I’m not going to disappear

I’m not foolish
I’m not unwise
I’m not unseasoned

I’m not going to live forever

I’m not going to stay the same

I’m not going to beat to their drum

I’m not afraid
I’m not meek
I’m not blue

I’m not your tired,
I’m not your ragdoll
I’m not your excuse

WAIT,
