Analysis of Uh...No!



Uh...no!
I will not be the one left stressed.
By anyone.
Anything.
Anymore again.
To experience doing it for...
Allowing to do this,
With a welcoming to visit...
And sit to listen,
As if my peaceful disposition...
Could be ignored to explore,
The limits of it.

Uh...no!
Too long I had been,
Willing to open my apartment door.
Accepting someone's negativity.
But that to happen has ended.
My peace of mind to value more,
Has been earned and not given.
Only God I can say delivered to me,
That blessing.

And...
Not about to go anywhere.
Without me being there and aware,
As to how it came to stay that way!
My peace of mind that is mine to achieve,
Has much more significance...
Than a knock on my door,
To have anything or anyone leave with me...
Stressed out by their miseries.

Uh...no!
Done that to do?
Not again.

'You act like you would rather be left alone!'

I hope you enjoyed the performance.
Now get up and go back to your own home!

'I don't believe this.
How to me could you be that rude?'

I updated the old familiar script.
To rewrite what had been,
Unnecessary to feel it needed to be repeated!

'So...
What exactly are you saying?'

Okay.
Get up.
Open that door.
Go to the other side of it.
And close it behind you.
With a doing not to slam it.
Special effects I did not include!
