It's Ok Not to Want the Things You Don't Want

When you hear the squeaking hinge 
of the door of opportunity and feel
office walls are too close
to a cage for comfort--
Listen!
It's ok to push away 
aother plate
when you've enjoyed a meal, 
read the fine print and 
walk (or run!)
away from the deal. 
You can have enough.
It isn't only fear of the unknown 
that gets you--
it's the known stuff.
And you can just say "no."
You can just not want things.
You can just know
what you know. 
And your mind can't take you
where your heart
won't go.
