The Power of No

Say no, it's a power word, I’m learning to be free

In this world I navigate, just trying to find me

From childhood days, I’ve been told to comply

A tiny voice inside, now begins to sound

It’s not rebellion, but a whisper of my soul

A act of courage, trying to lead the way

Every no I utter, a step to autonomy

Facing fears, breaking patterns, no more apology

Say no, it’s my power, my reclaimed voice

In every No is a choice, I find my own strength

Say no, I’m growing, I’m breaking through

In this tapestry of “no,” I’m weaving something new

Immigrant’s journey, with a mix of doubt and hope

Balancing worlds, learning how to healthily cope

My Green card mantra, a powerful No

My own reflection, I finally see

Every no I utter, a step to autonomy

Facing fears, breaking patterns, no more apology

Say no, it’s my power, my reclaimed voice

In every No is a choice, I find my own strength

Say no, I’m growing, I’m breaking through

In this tapestry of “no,” I’m weaving something new

Not just a phrase, but a declaration,

A vital part of my transformation

In the echoes of my “no,” I find my way

A stronger foundation, I stand my ground

So I say it loud and clear, I’m learning to be free

In my “no,” I discover me
