Ovillejo poem

No is Enough

How many times did we keep saying no?

Men don’t know.

Men sometimes think a no is a lie.

Accept deny.

If we keep saying no, walk away.

Don’t stay.

Your absences won’t cause a grey day.

We have happiness within ourselves,

Find happiness within yourselves.

Men don’t know how to accept a deny and we don’t want them to stay.

    Great poem. It's unfortunate, but true for a lot of people. Nice message at the end

    Very true, I like how you end this poem. We forget we can create our own happiness. Being attached to toxic is not healthy .🥰👏
