just say no

we reach
the age when we can say
no
and not feel guilty about it.
we've earned
the no's
that are coming from
here on out.
you've done the birthday
parties,
you've met
all the parents,
you've gone on the roller
coaster ride
when you didn't want
to and you've
ate a lot of food
that
you didn't want
to eat.
so it's no now to the wedding
invite,
no to Sunday
morning church,
no to the three day
seminar on positive thinking,
or the retreat
where you
can't talk for a week.
it's no to karaoke,
no to ice skating,
no to soy beans or kale.
no to watching a movie
on the hallmark
channel,
or driving to the mountains
to pick berries,
or see the leaves change
color.
