How can you expect me
to be here comfortably.
There's no room for me
amidst your fantasies.
No woman can possibly be
all the women you need
There's no room for me here
so I'm going to leave.
Don't ask me to stay,
no way, I won't rescind
because I just realized
I'm a fucking stand-in.

Brief, to the point, and a very wise woman! I'm not sure why I liked this verse so much. Maybe it's because it was me so many years ago. Such a smart young writer! Thank you so much for your entry. I loved the imagery and standing up for yourself!
