Kumkazi Mhlongo Poet Personification

No Cross Surrogate

Such is your 'No' phobia, you repeatedly bite off more than you can chew
     Stuck as a broken record on yes, you agree to things you don't want to do 
     sign up for things you hate

     Such is your 'No' phobia, you vote no to the life you want
     and vote yes to the life you dread
     foregoing your power to others..... bearing their crosses
     Uncustomised for surrogacey....feathering their nests while yours
     lies in tatters 

     Such is your 'No' phobia, you think it's a swear word
     left you lawless and no boundaries - gained you nothing
     but users, takers and abusers
  
     A yesaholic in need of a 12 step program
     'yes', yourself made titanic
      sinking rapidly, but for a 911 sea rescue to change course
