Is the word today ‘yes’ or ‘no’
Today was the day that ‘yes’ had overruled her simple ‘no’
‘Yes,’ ‘Yes,’ ‘Yes,’ had become second nature to them
‘No,’ was a rarely spoken word around those ‘Yes’ characters
The word ‘yes’ had manipulated their ability to say ‘no’ and end
the continued day in and day out cycle
‘Yes’ had so eloquently taken over their mind that ‘yes’ had controlled
even their hand to mouth movement
Dragging them unknowingly further from reality into a spiral
vortex taking the few unfortunate to where they no longer could grab
a hold of the ladder that would bring them back to the real
world of reality again
As they fall deeper into the claws’, that one word, ‘yes’ was easily
visible as the root of this vicious cycle
As her body yearned to say ‘yes’ she stayed strong
Now the dilemma of how the ‘no’ might change the night
However, she had learned that saying ‘yes’ over and over about
killed her along the way
Her ‘no’ was the only one
The outlandish and harsh attacks had they lost their sense of reality by
saying ‘yes’ and caused them to outcast the only ‘no’ but she kept her
clear head and knew she did the right thing
She now enjoys the beauty of her soul from learning to say ‘no’
Never let ‘no’ question your decisions because the ‘yes’ will only be
temporary as the ‘no’ might make you feel like a goody two-shoes
but you will be able to enjoy the presence of real beauty and not lost in this
temporary world of false motivations making you feel the
laughter with silent sorrow from the ‘no’ crowd
while the ‘yes’ crowd is laughing beyond control not understanding
that the laughing is not with them but at them
When all is said and done the ones who say ‘no’ will win in the long run
Take this from the person writing this poem
Being on the brink of death multiple times eventually will bring a
dynamite kick in the pants
Listen from the words of someone who has experienced both sides
of the ‘yes’ and ‘no.’
