"No" lives inside my throat
Escaping only when comfortable,
not when needed
No to quests that remove me from my safe zone,
along side companions whom I love.
Yes when no is too fearful of actions of those seated higher above.
No to praise that would inflate my ego,
Yes to critique that douses all flames
"No" lives inside my throat
And she's been there since I can remember

"No" lives inside my throat
Escaping only when comfortable,
not when needed
No to quests that remove me from my safe zone,
along side companions whom I love.
Yes when no is too fearful of actions of those seated higher above.
No to praise that would inflate my ego,
Yes to critique that douses all flames
"No" lives inside my throat
And she's been there since I can remember
Who knew a simple word could be agoraphobic?
