Learn How To Say No

People don’t like to hear the word no
They’ll push you as far as they want
You to go. Saying no is not a crime,
People pleasing is way out of line.

It is natural to want love, and be 
Accepted by all, and in a balance way.
If there comes a time when the answer
Is yes, it would be comfortable to utter
As your doing your best.

Hey to you, Abraham! This is an interesting piece. The "no" and the "yes" truly are words that need to be thought over. The "no" can be final.."yes" will sometimes come with conditional attachments.:) If it feels like the right thing, the conditions can be easily met. I really enjoyed reading your write! Wishing you and yours the best...God bless! Love, Mikki
