    This poem is an exploration of "no" and the way we are denied its use as children at the expense of our own comfort. The ingrained struggle of politeness versus personal boundaries and the societal expectations that shape how we respond. The way we are held accountable for our inability to use it as adults. And hopefully about finding the courage to assert ourselves as we grow and the silent battles many of us carry.
