Do It If It Satisfies
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
You have the right to feel good.
And...
Do it if it satisfies.
You have the right to think you should.
To feel good.
And...
Do it if it satisfies.
Opinions of others isn't worth the trouble.
To get caught up in their grief.
Rumors to hear heard about yourself,
Know in your life you don't need.
Move on.
Why waste your mind giving that the time.
What value to you does this nonsense make?
To participate or anticipate it done.
Move on.
Don't allow your happiness to be attacked.
Move on.
Just know those who do that,
Don't know any better...
Than what they've been taught to do.
Feel good.
And...
Do it if it satisfies.
To feel good.
And...
Do it like you know you should.
Everyday not to get enough.
To wake up blessed.
Wanting to feel good.
You can,
If you want to feel good.
Kick your worries to curb.
If you want to feel good.
Don't let what troubles you,
Stay on your nerves.
If you want to feel good.
And...
Do it if it satisfies,
You!
Do it if it satisfies,
You!
