No
Remembering the First Time After a Long Time of Not Being Able to Say No...

No
No
Have you ever thought about how good that is to say?
When you feel like the world is treating you In a bad way?
It's amazing
This release we can get from admitting we are not okay.
To be passive is to be silently angry
Things are said and we don't know how to be
But I am now in a place where I can say no
No
So I invite you, with all this hatred and anger to tell me anything
Tell me that I am an idiot,
Tell me that I can't do something
Tell me that I won't be something
Tell me that I can't live the way I want to live
Tell me that I can't say the words I want to speak
Tell me that there is no tomorrow
Tell me that there is no yesterday
Tell me that it's going to get worse
Tell me that it's never going to get better
Tell me that you don't know how to talk
Tell me that you're right
Tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me everything that you can to try and make me fall back into the pit of depression I am so used to and I will tell you no
No
I am not who you think I am
I am not weak
I am not going to sit back and listen to your words
I am not going to let you hurt me
I am not going to let you change me
I am not going to let you make me believe your lies
I am not going to let myself become what I should
Become what I think I am going to be
Because you forgot something about me
You forgot that no matter how close I've gotten that I haven't given up yet
That the world has been against me and shouted at me to end it all
Given me every reason to not see the light
Given me every reason to not stand here and not fight
But I won't give up
You haven't got a chance
Because I am going to make it
Because I am strong enough
To say
No
