And You Will Tell Them Yes

by Alicia Arenas on February 8, 2010

All your life you are told the things you cannot do.

All your life they will say you’re not GOOD ENOUGH

or STRONG ENOUGH or TALENTED ENOUGH.

They’ll say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight

or the wrong type to play this or BE THIS or achieve this.

They will tell you no, a THOUSAND times NO

until all the No’s become meaningless.

All your life they will tell you NO,

quite FIRMLY and VERY QUICKLY.

They will tell you no.


AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.
