Saying Yes

Why do we say yes?
Is it to help out?
To mask self doubt?
Hide insecurities?
Avoid obscurity?
Why do we say yes?
To hide our own mess?
Run from pains in our chest?
Disguise the pain?
For our own selfish gain?
Why do we say yes?
We take on too much. Refusing to let go.
We do this often and the fatigue shows.
We think our value is in what we do
Forgetting that no is yes to you!
