If
I say
NO to you,
it is because
I do care enough
about me to be the
best ME that I can be, to
YOU and to ALL of my friends, I
won’t lie, or make any excuses
for being true to myself. AND if that
means we are no longer friends then I
would like to say goodbye, farewell,
ALOHA, safe passage, don’t
let the door hit you in
the ass, it may sting
now, but it will
be over
sooner
BYE.

Very clever, and hard work to get the syllable fit no doubt, all the while maintaining the voice. I’m impressed. Well done
