I affirm every time that I am not like most [women].

It just means that I'll hurt you less. That I'm tempered. That I'm not who you need to be afraid of. That I'm the one you can show your back to. That I'm the one you can trust. I'm not like the others, who I'm not allowed to know.<br><br>I'm tempered. I'll take your anger, your pain, your desperation. I'll put up with your affirmations and your leering glances. I'll take your anger, your pain, your desperation. I'll save you from your own insecurities and end up in the hands of psychopaths.<br><br>I'm not like all the others. I affirm it to myself every time: I'm not like all the others. I'm not like all the others. I'm not like all the others. Until I become like them. Until I understand that I'm not any better. That I'm not more exceptional. That I'm not more tempered. Suddenly, I'm tempered no more. Suddenly, I'm not any different. I'm just another.<br><br>The only difference is that I've been through more. I've been through more versions of you. I've been through more versions of you. More versions of you. Until I stop affirming that I'm not like all the others.<br><br>Stop affirming that I'm not like all the others.<br><br>I'm Stela. I'm the one who's not like all the others.
