Ooops... It's been too long... I should have done this challenge a few weeks ago! I kept it simple, so I hope it meets the brief! :)
Acquiesce
Every trip of the tongue, every nod of the head
Leaves me feeling like I shouldn’t have said…
Yes be my first response, yes be my last
Why do my heart and my head always clash?
Lonely I stand, in a crowded space
A painted smile upon my face
Mirrors for eyes, and lies for tears
I’ve been saying ‘yes’ for years
I can’t help it; oh I’ve tried
So frustrated, so unwise
‘Yes’, ‘uh-huh’ and ‘yes’ some more
I’ll say ‘no’ next time, that’s for sure
