I Know My Worth

"I am not desperate, not for you, not for anyone."

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I refuse to be settled for--

To be nothing more than plan B,

To be the fallback guy, the rebound king,

The contingency.

I refuse to be just another name in the raffle of your latest craze,

To be identified as nothing other than your summer fling’s face.

I refuse to be the segue, the side track, the backup,

Because I deserve to be nowhere else but the top.

I refuse to keep being an option,

I am one worth bidding highest for in an auction.

I was made to be the highlight, the main event,

The foremost reason why you even went.

I am not desperate, not for you, not for anyone,

If I am not your choice,

Then you’re just not the one.
