Dear Reflection

Don’t tell me no,

Don’t tell me I won’t,

Don’t tell me I can’t,

Don’t tell me I am too tired,

Don’t tell me I am not able to,

Don’t tell me I can’t do this,

Don’t tell me I am exhausted,

Don’t tell me I am too shy,

Don’t tell me to stay down,

Don’t tell me not to get up,

Don’t tell me it is not possible,

Don’t tell me my limits,

Don’t ever tell me to stop, give up or quit,

You’re the one person who can tell me no,

And denying you would be my greatest victory,
