No

by *Lauren*   Sep 28, 2005


Find someone you like
Tell someone how you feel
Get shot down once again
Don't know why though.

I keep hurting myself
Tired of all this crap.
I'm going to give up
And quit trying for good.

Everybody tells me
"Tell him how you feel,
The worst he can say is no."
But "no" is only the beginning.

"No" leads to wondering,
Why aren't I good enough?
Can't I be the one
That you think about?

I guess I'm not pretty enough,
Maybe not the funny one.
Can't stop the thoughts,
Is she better than me?

Aren't I interesting,
And fun to hang out with?
This is only the beginning,
Of the awful thoughts.

"No" is only the beginning.
"No" can lead to depression.
Depression can lead to misery
Misery can lead to death.

See, "no" is not the worst,
The worst comes after.
The worst is not "no."
The worst is rejection.
