just say no

you stop doing things
you don't want
to do.
it's taken a while
to get there, but finally
you say no
to attending
the wedding, or
to meeting the parents,
the siblings,
you refuse to walk someone's
dog,
or watch their cat,
you just say no.
the party invitation,
jumping
into the pool when asked.
no thank you,
you say,
no exuses,
no lies, no made up
stories about why you
can't be there.
you just say no,
i'm sorry. the walk away.
