If I were a door mat, it would be okay to walk on me.

If I had no name, it would be okay for you to call me names.

If I were unable to think for myself, it would be okay for you to fill me full of what you think.

And if I were a child, it would be okay for you to try to discipline me.

However, I am not a door mat, so stop wiping your feet on me.

I have a name, so I don’t need your labels.

I can think for myself, so allow me the space to form my own opinion.

And finally, discipline yourself…cause I don’t need a new parent, the previous ones stuffed up just fine.

I like me just the way I am!
