Say No when you don't feel yes
Say No when you don't think yes
Say No when it is not true
Say No before you break in two
At Home In School we were Trained To say YES
Contradiction fell into ears so deaf
As we grew some brave ones broke free
While most of us kept on drowning deep
The Yes Men The People pleasing kind
Walk the lengths to get what seem so right
The damage they create for themselves
The stresses that reach a fruitless end
I learnt this truth at years Seventy two
My Inner peace I so value
I've paid my dues no guilt no shame remain
Laying boundaries that none can invade
