I'm Not a Caretaker (And Never Will Be Again)

I’m Not a Caretaker (And Never Will Be Again) is a song of final refusal and reclaimed authority.
This track marks the moment when survival stops being confused with responsibility. It names the end of imposed roles, unpaid labor, and expectations that required self-erasure to maintain someone else’s comfort. There is no explanation offered and no apology made.
 
I’m Not a Caretaker (And Never Will Be Again) does not negotiate its boundary. It speaks from lived clarity—after trauma, chronic pain, illness, and years of being expected to carry what was never freely chosen. The song centers consent, self-preservation, and the right to withdraw from dynamics that cause harm.
 
The sound remains grounded and steady, holding firmness without escalation. There is no demand to forgive, reconcile, or reframe. The power of the piece lies in its stillness and certainty.
 
This song is for those who were taught that endurance was love, that caretaking was obligation, and that saying no required justification. It offers something different: an ending that protects the body and honors truth.
 
I’m Not a Caretaker (And Never Will Be Again) is not resignation.
It is reclamation.
A clear declaration that this role is over—and will not return.
