I Am Not A Book


I am not your thesaurus.  
Do not compare me to you. 
I am my own self just as a word has its own definition. 
 
I am not your rule book. 
I am not going to give you rules because I don't want yours. 
 
I am not your dictionary. 
I do not define your limits as you do not define mine. 
 
I am not a book. 
 
I am a being.
