Somebody told me No
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.
