Yes

This is why I dislike the word ‘yes’ - It has put me in this mess... But, I will celebrate cheerfulness my way This is why I dislike the word ‘yes’ - It has put me in distress But, I will congregate with the brethren today This is why I dislike the word ‘yes’ - It has reduced me to hopelessness But, I will integrate illuminating imagery day by day on a daily basis, so my mind doesn’t stray I love you all I really do I must stand tall That, I say is true I love you all I really do I must answer your call And be a strong person too I have made it this far I want to be where you are I am like a shooting star With this bleeding scar... I’m willing to seek help I won’t yelp...yelp...yelp... I’m just desperate for your approval If anything, I will stand tall through it all I know that I know how to sing..it’s been engulfed in me from within But can You bring me some more confidence and humility? Pride has made me fall low like a bee’s sting against my skin However...I’ll let you hurt me some more to make me feel...happy... I have fallen victim to sorrow I’m sorry to put it this way once again I need you all to simply know I love you all sincerely ten times ten I will keep giving up my life for you Just to be joyful and not full of rue You haven’t a clue what I have been through Maybe you do..perhaps, maybe you do.. I’m schizophrenic bipolar... As the doctors say, say I’m made on Earth to be sure I can be glad day by day It’s Pentecost night and my birthday, my dove - That’s something I should be truly proud of Love can’t cost a penny in God’s eyes... God gives us free liberty without lies So, why do I hate the word ‘yes’? Because I gave in to wickedness instead of righteousness Instead, let me tragedy in reverse that Let me flip the coin right off the bat My cup is half full - What about you, beautiful? Say ‘yes’ to godliness It will make you feel accomplished nonetheless, regardless of sadness Wait - yes... Is a love-hate word for me Inner success Is what I need profoundly Will you be a success? Will you no longer feel distress? No one knows... In silent wars No one knows Until you see my sores... I will reveal them for all to see Fellowship freely and oh so gaily The happiness and hope I feel is beyond me There’s no more talk of shame anymore...possibly... Talk of joy only I just want to be free There’s an opportunity to shine As long as you and I become divine It’s a surreal sign... A peaceful design That we all belong together In God’s everlasting Kingdom - I say Yes, Amen I say yes To righteousness
