No

No

A Poem by Pumkin

Thought of this poem while looking at news about North Korea and Donald Trump.

"

NO

We're told that being different is wrong

Is that another way to say we cannot mentally grow?

If we are different than we do not belong

But no matter what, my answer will always be no


We're taught that a certain shape is the best

Please people, give me a rest

I will not give into your demands and bow

I love myself so my answer will always be no


We're surrounded by people who shoot hateful glares  

Who are not happy with how you dress although

This body is, was and never will be theirs

This is my body so my answer will always be no


We're trained to ignore the painful truth

In fact for me, it was not a while ago

And they teach that to us all when we are in our youth

But I hate lies so my answer will always be no


We're shaped into what they want

Whether it's a perfect housewife or a masculine husband and so and so

And then they are annoyed or disappointed when we say we can't

But I wanna be me so my answer will always be no


We're taught and told so many things

But it's time to change

Because to some, what you teach really stings

And the truth is not strange

It's just unique, special and different you know

And that's why my answer has always been no
