I Wore That Yesterday

The same frown... The same sad face... The same dismay over and over .. You said the same mean words to hurt me. Today I choose to wear smiles. I have come miles since yesterday! The happiness I felt... The freedom I have now... Since you left and went away; Please in fact, don't come back! Putting me down- Wanting to see me with that same sad face,with that same 'ole frown. The same dismay. I can't wear those feelings anymore no way. For I wore that yesterday. No complaints, self esteem has risen. It feels good to be free from your verbal prison. Nope, I am wearing a smile, enjoying my new freedom. No frown-no feeling down-no dismay. Can't wear that outfit, feeling like a misfit, see I wore that yesterday! .... No way can you taunt or daunt my spirit or depress my spiritual side. No more can you appall or terrify or fill me up with apprehensions. I am free! No longer disabled; So ring the alarm- I won't respond, I have the courage, The courage to say. I am not wearing those feelings of dismay, I wore them yesterday. So say what you must and do what you will. My spirit has traveled far from you. Today is my day. So don't come back to try and dress me in that old tired suite, made by Mr. Dis-May I don't wear that label anymore ... I wore that yesterday.
