I Couldn’t Do It, But I Did

I couldn’t do it, but somehow I did.

I’ve done it—yet, what’s this pushback?

I did it, but was it the right thing?

Am I selfish?

Is this who I truly am?

Why do I feel guilty?

Is guilt even necessary?

Why does it linger in my mind?

I always say yes, unless… but not today.

What if he really needed it?

Did she want it for a good cause?

What if they… Does this make me a bad person?

These are my thoughts after saying no.

It’s hard to say no.
