Power of Refusal
Say no?
Ticks and tocks, clank and clock
Hestitation, a moment longer
Maybe the idea will cross
Invisible lines of no trepassing increase
Across my brow, saying no
Is already hard enough...
Advancements, and eye rolls
Overwhelmed lingered hugs
Frustration, enough!
No.
Blank stares, confused grazes
Ticks and tocks, clank and clock
A moment of silence
and victory hails.

I'm a senior, who loves to write! I'm a proud dog owner, and sister. I want to one day help impact the world by improving educational systems in third world countries.
