"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME SAY 'NO'?!"

Didn’t you hear me say ‘no’?

When you first asked me

to do what you wanted me to

and become whom you thought I should be,

I even declined politely

You tried to bargain

in hopes I’d be convinced

but my instinct kicked me again

somewhere from deep within

Didn’t you hear me say ‘no’?

It was the second time

Hell, I didn’t commit any crimes

I simply took my stand

No, I wasn’t playing hard to get

Were you on a bet?

You sounded desperate

You must be mad

Didn’t you hear me say ‘no’?

Yes, you did

time and time again

so stop being a pain

by pretending you were deaf.

Don’t be stupid.

It’s a two-lettered word.

Stop acting so privileged.

You make me sick,

because you had to insult me

out of rage over (my) rejection.

Oh, what a pity.

This is not always about you

or all you want, you see?

No, no, NO!

Why do I have to scream and shout

just to be heard and understood?

I don’t care if your ego is bruised

It’s not like I kick you in the manhood

but with your attitude,

I wish I could

God knows I would

You have lost my respect

Now, take a hike!
