I refuse to be ordinary
I refuse to be average
I refuse to be placed second
I refuse to be normal
I refuse to be mediocre
I refuse to be vulnerable
I refuse to lose
I refuse to love
I refuse to give up
Giving up to someone
Willingly and then
Regretting years later
Giving up to live
A life not worth living
No material possessions
No pride.

You refuse that I be ordinary
You refuse that I be average
Second is not good enough
Only winners have a good reason
To smile
To live
Marrying will drain me
Of all individuality
Giving birth will ruin
Your figure and exhaust
Your energy

Spend your life
Doing something
Worthwhile.
Make a difference
Get rich
Be happy
But don't disappoint me
Do your best
But don't lose
Live as you wish
But don't waste your life
Be successful
Be beautiful
Stay thin
Learn as much as you can
Be cultured
Be the best
I love you as you are
Just as long as
You're perfect.
