I’ve heard people say it before Just go with the flow Just say no My voice feels so small But deep down I know I need to be heard Yes, I am traumatized I have a hard time saying no But that does not mean I am all yeses I have other cues waiting for you My silence begs you to stop When I freeze I just pray you won’t hurt me like he did When I move your hand I wish you would embrace me in a hug Instead of touching me where it hurts the most If I change the subject I just want you to know I’m not ok When I can’t stop talking I want to distract you If you were good for me you’d notice I’m trying to say no Im trying so hard but I am afraid Why can’t you see that I am so scared to say no?

Learning to say no
I’ve heard people say it before Just go with the flow Just say no My voice feels so small But deep down I know I need to be heard Yes, I am traumatized I have a hard time saying no But that does not mean I am all yeses I have other cues waiting for you My silence begs you to stop When I freeze I just pray you won’t hurt me like he did When I move your hand I wish you would embrace me in a hug Instead of touching me where it hurts the most If I change the subject I just want you to know I’m not ok When I can’t stop talking I want to distract you If you were good for me you’d notice I’m trying to say no Im trying so hard but I am afraid Why can’t you see that I am so scared to say no?
