It's Ok To Say No

It's okay to say No
If you're not ready for something new
If you're questioning and confused
If you are unsure or if you hesitate 

It's okay to say No
While you're moving forward
If you have to take a step back and pause
Or wrestle 
Or revisit 

It's okay to say No
If your feelings are causing you to contemplate 
And you need to clarify your intentions
Check in with your conscience 
Re-evaluate or reconsider

It's okay to say No
If your heart is craving excitement, but yet you feel torn
And alarm bells are going off in your head
No matter how quiet

It's OK to say No
