Don’t be a Yes Man.
Looking at yourself less than.
Take some time and Invest in.
Look at yourself in that reflection.
Just look at yourself!
What is your worth and what is your wealth?
You should think of you first and no one else.
You have the tools to repair you
No one else can see your past in their rear view.
The present is near you.
Your future should be in a clear view.
Dust yourself off you’re not done yet.
You didn’t lose but you haven’t won yet.
No matter how low the sun gets!
Seriously, you’re not done yet.
Take a hold of your life be in charge.
Don’t forget remember who you really are.
Even when the night falls and you see the stars.
I know you don’t like to feel the pain.
You wear long sleeve to cover your arms.
It’s not visible but I can still see them scars.
Your hurting within but you don’t care.
Because the real you isn’t there.
The real you is aware but could not bare.
The stupidity that you impaired.
You say, “I’m not dumb this is me!”.
Since the day of your birth I disagree.
Since the beginning we all had a choice.
We were developing as babies.
Even if we couldn’t speak yet with our voice.
Somewhere along the line you got off course.
And you changed your mind.
You left your only lonely self behind.
Then that Yes Man person was assigned.

I just want to say don’t be a Yes Man.
It’s not over you have a lot more Time.
I was waiting to get my starter dreads done. When I heard my stylist telling us her son is a Yes Man. And how his wife gets everything her way.

Don’t be a Yes Man.
You better start guessing.
You could make a choice.
Don’t let every lady steal your voice.
Your that person chillin in the back seat.
Yes! It’s relaxing, until you become obsolete.
You’ll feel less important...not complete.

It just came into my mind, to write you something.
Though you don't deserve, and to you I am nothing.
Oh hundreds of days passed us by,
and I still remember that look into your eye.

You know, I was caught by your charm.
Oh how I wanted to be in your arms.
But it feels like a forbidden thing,
so I did what is right, to you I didn't cling.

Here I am, with my pen and reminiscing.
I can till feel the thrill- I am still smiling.
One day I hope to see you around,
I want to be enraptured by your sound.

However, there might be someone who owns your heart.
And perhaps, for you it is a beautiful start.
I will be delighted and won't demand for more things to happen.
To see you...just to see you again- I will be truly gladdened.

This poem is dedicated to a person I met year 2013. I made him a code name and called him "Yes Man".
