REALLY

by Cornelia DeDona
(Kaneohe, Hawaii)

If
I say
NO to you,
it is because
I do care enough
about me to be the
best ME that I can be, to
YOU and to ALL of my friends, I
won't lie, or make any excuses
for being true to myself. AND if that
means we are no longer friends then I
would like to say goodbye, farewell,
ALOHA, safe passage, don’t
let the door hit you in
the as-, it may sting
now, but it will
be over
sooner
BYE.
