Say a 'No', and let it be a 'big No', when your mind says 'NO'. If you nod 'YES' instead, entire time of your life you will have to repeat doing that when still it leaves discontent alone.

When It Calls for a 'No'

No word is as true as 'no'.

No word can ever be brave too.

and no word can be so harsh again

But it's the most demanding,

this time.

When, time calls for a no,

give it in no mercy

or the same time,

may exploit

Your 'yes'.

Some take it, it's your obligation

and again it's their right

when it's never so

And, later you get kicked

for their sport.

Chances never wait,

For you yet and yet again

And grab, the best of chance

when the right moment,

deserves the right 'no'.

Life would rhythm,

Speak out, when it demands

and let your voice, be rhythmic

with a graver note

And a 'no' is a 'no'.
