"No".

"No".

A Poem by Emily

No I don't want your number

No I don't want you to buy me a drink

No I have a boyfriend

Sir, I said no.

No, move your hand away from my thigh

No I don't want to go home with you

No, I think my drink tastes a little funny though

 

 

Sir, I said....

 

No one knows when she left

No I didn't see who she went home with

No she looked like she was having fun

Nobody was with her

No one knows what happened

No one was paying attention

No one believed her

 

 

Why didn't she just say "no"?
