The Birth of No:
I declare
No
two letters
one giant word
some days standing in front of guilt, fear
Other days standing free
I declare
No
to unrealistic expectations that have to do with your fears and needs
to false realities that materialize in the darkness
sometimes nailed down to the concrete floor,
standing firm
other times moving slightly with the wind
Today, I declare No
to the tasks piling on due to your fears of the future, the unknown
no to doing more when there’s little left to give
this time unflinching
allowing the guilt to float away.
