I Still Can't Say No
I liked making you happy
And I knew you were happy when I did as you say
So that is what I did
You said you did not like to hold hands
So I stopped holding your hand
Even when it was the only thing I want to do
You said you didn’t want me to wear heels because I would be too tall
So I never wore heels
Even if I loved the way I looked in them
You told me not to hold my friend’s hand
So I stopped holding their hand
Even if it was the only thing that helped with my anxiety
You told me to make you feel good
So I did
Even when I really didn’t want to
You told me to take a joke
So I laughed
Even if I didn’t think being called a whore was funny
You didn’t like it when I said no
So I stopped saying no
