I Will Not...

I will not fake it,
The emotions in my heart.

I will not let others
Tell me I am wrong about me.

I will not show you
A feeling I don't have inside.

I will not be the fantasy
That you have wanted me to be.

I will not fake it,
The feelings inside this person.

I will not let others
Make me feel less than a woman.

I will not show you
The anger that you instill in me.

I will not be the fantasy
Of the perfect person you pretend I am.

I will not fake it,
Not even with the best of them.

I will not let others
Throw me into a category of their choosing.

I will not show you
A plastic woman, distorted, an illusion.

I will not be the fantasy
In your twisted distorted deluded mind.

I will not fake it,
I will not be what you want me to be.

I will not be the fantasy
I will not be the lie you tell yourself.

I will not let others
Talk me into being jaded and disillusioned..

I will not fake it.....
