Why is it so hard for me to hear a NO?
Maybe it started when I was young not fully grown
The sound pierces my chest and stuns my soul,
I can’t move or think, I’ve been impaled by a pole
Medusa’s word makes my heart turn to stone
Her truth is heard and makes my bone moan
If I can’t hear a no, then it isn’t a question,
The sycophant hero’s just leadin’ the inquisition
What a world it could be to allow ALL NOs!
It’s not about me tho, which now I know
Accepting a NO, is a YES for the other,
Letting go these egos, what about you my brother?

One day it won’t sting to hearing both options,
Put myself in the ring, when can I stop boxin?
Call it a toxin, no mask or vaccine,
The only cure, the task that I see,
To open that door and set my ghost free,
Two sides of the coin, type Boo-lean, G
Worthy more than gold, no bullions necessary
It’s not that scary, my veil’s been lifted,
Casper’s friendly, sail winds have shifted,
My boat’s course correction’s bringin’ back the breeze,
Your throat’s coarse inflection’s singin’ NOs at ease,
What a space we create, when we seek of speakin’ our truths,
We embrace our fate tastin’ trees of sweet ‘n sour fruits.
