I hear the word No, so often and in so many ways

The constant No, can’t, and don’t provides all too much pain

Days are so frequently wasted

Always hearing the word No

However, the world is filled with happiness

And so much more to show

I now sit back and think of the word Yes

In a world of Yes, life doesn’t feel like such a mess

Yes tells you that you can

Yes provides optimism that only some will understand

Yes makes the makes the world a better place

Yes provides No place for hate

Not everyday is a Yes day, the word No will always be there

Don’t allow these two words to take up your days, for they do make a terrible pair

Yes I can

Yes I will

It is Yes that will keep me going

Because No will just keep me sitting still

I have wasted too much time on such a small word

The change to Yes will allow me to be heard

Negativity is so easy

Plus, such a waste of time

I have thicker skin than that

I have a strong spine

Even when the word No is everywhere in sight

I chose to hear the word Yes and will continue to fight
