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.
