Somebody told me No.

I didn't listen.

They told me I wasn't good enough.

I didn't listen.

They told the past would haunt me and keep me from acheiving my goals.

They told me No.

I didn't listen.

No one can hurt me without my permission.

I made up my mind to follow my dreams.

Somebody told me No.

I didn't listen.

I am my own person.

I set my own path.

Still somebody told me No.

They told me that my fear will consume me.

That the stress will take over.

I didn't listen.

Somebody screamed NO!

I made up my mind to find the voice telling me No.

It wasn't the past.

It wasn't the future.

Nor was it the present.

At last I found them!

The someone telling me no was me.

But I didn't listen.

Oh my gosh...this poem is absolutely beautiful, and so very empowering! I could sense a quiet strength behind your words...you meant every single one of them :) And I loved your message soooo much! It tells me that you have a lot of wisdom and strength and will-power in you. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to those voices telling you no...especially when they're your own voices. Thank you for posting this, and for inspiring me!! Phenomenal work, and please keep writing!!!! :D
