Then………. I learned to say No………

Sweet-honey natured kid was I
Sugary talks being my asset
Pleased mama’s friends -Those
Bun-Haired, Jack-Headed, and fussy fastidious
Never knowing where it would lead me
Nevertheless trying more each time – After all

Sweet-honey natured kid was I
Sugary talks being my asset
Flamboyant teen girl was I
Finesse behaviors giving me help hand
Loved everyone met
Strived hard to fight for my space – In
That little world, formed by those little creatures
To yield an identity
To prove my existence – After all
Flamboyant teen girl was I
Finesse behaviors giving me help hand

And then……
I grew

Well-bred woman I am
Well aware of being courteous and polite
But little would I want to be so
For I know “It just aint everything” – Am
Losing my edge– Am
Laughing over my past

And then……..
I learned to say NO….

In the world
Still existing are they…- Those
Bun-Haired, Jack-Headed, and fussy fastidious
They will never change
I cross them over
Sensing their eagerness to please them…
I passed them on as something…
I smiled triumphantly………

And then………
I learned to say NO…………
