I do not consent.

I do not consent to anger, to rage, to alarm.

I do not consent to speak with you. I do not consent to be roused or railroaded.

I do not consent to rise to clumsy bait. I do not consent to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. I do not consent to participate in pretending make a two-faced peace.

I do not consent to be exploited, abused, slandered. I do not consent to your stones against my window after the restraining order. I do not consent to roses scented with chloroform, or the martyrdom.

I do not consent to remain in the room with you. I do not consent to you in the place I call home. I do not consent to this while my family is here and my heart is reforged. I do not consent to your presence in my life.

I do not consent. Get it through your head.
