Him

"Will you become a soldier and fight in a war against my enemy?" Said the father
"Yes, dad. Offcourse." He said
But he wanted to paint
He never wanted a sword
He always wanted a brush and a canvas to turn into the most beautiful thing
He suffered in war!

"Will you go instead of me?" Friend said
"Yes, I can." He said
But he wanted to go to some other place watching beautiful flowers.

"Will do this task for me?" Her voice spoke
"Yeah, of course my sweet little sister" He smiled
But he wanted to study while drinking this nice coffee

"Will you give this love note to him, please!" She urged
"Haha, why not?" He chuckled
But He had a love note in his hand for her, which he quickly hid when she approached.

All his life he chose to suffer,
When he simply would have taken a step back
And say NO.
THAT'S SIMPLE
HE JUST HAD TO SAY NO.
