God Says Yes To Me by Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Reaction: I was surprise since "God" seems to be a female in this poem and that was really the only thing that stood out.

Meaning: As for the meaning. I got two. The first is that "God" is actually the child's mother or she sees her mother as God because parents usually control lives of their children until they get older. Another one that I thought is that "God" was actually a female God and the child in the poem was praying as if asking for guidance. Either way, her answer is always "yes, yes, yes" meaning that she has control over her life and no one else.

Technique: free verse
