Steps To Standing My Ground

by Nicole M. - Gemini

It was the smallest ledge in this world 
But when I said no to you
I took a little bit of my ground
Underneath my feet-
And when I didn't fall back into the same ol' routine
I took a bigger step
And now I'm just that much further away
From falling back to you.
The higher up I get
With every rejection
It's harder to see you
And easier.
With every small step
I get a piece of respect back.
Just to think
I'm halfway because I said no
And took that very first tiny step.
