No. Poem by Kara W

No.



It's okay to say no.
But I say it too much.
'Go get lunch.' she told me
'No, I'm not hungry.'
'No.'
Don't have to.
'Clean your room.Or do your chores.'
I don't want to.
'Go out and socialize.'
Not in my best interest.
'Talk louder. I know you can.'
Too risky. I already know I'm wrong.
'You should raise your hand more.'
That involves talking. And trying. I'm not good at that.
Why can't I just be me, and say no as I please?
Would I say no to everything?
No.
Not everything.
See? I said it again.
I'd end up somewhere I don't want to be.
I don't know where.
Or how.
But I know why.
Because I'm being me.
When I'm not supposed to be.
