Monologue of "NO"
(The Price Tag on Every Dream)
Excerpt from Salted Fish Can Fly
I am No.
Short. Efficient. Expensive.
I protect poor families from risk.
I kill dreams before they incur interest.
Because yes costs money.
Yes, it costs stability.
Yes might cost love.
Sometimes No isn’t rejection — it’s fear in disguise.
But remember:
I am only powerful
until someone decides
they are willing
to pay the price of Yes.
