Say No

Let it find a place upon my tongue
So I can breathe out its syllables with ease
No
This word isn’t my enemy
More like a pen pal
That I turn to when I feel myself
Hitting another wall
To use it for when my body needs a break
To halt from running
Get out of the dizziness
No
This word isn’t my enemy
But a best friend
Reaching out and putting a hand on my shoulder
To make me stop
To make me recover
From the spinning world outside my door
