But Are You Happy, I Am by sufridaxcansada

Behind the artist

I am @sufridaxcansada, I’ve chosen this @ because it means tired and suffering. At times I am one, the other and both. I’ve written this poem to express how easy it is for someone to come in and mess our thoughts and influence them. As creative artists in a world of vast opinions we must stand our ground and remember our thoughts, ideas and dreams are our own to protect and lead with...always. Don’t ever allow someone to intrude your thought process. If you know who you are and if you are proud to be the person you are today and will be in the future; what does outside conviction matter?

But are you happy, I am.

Two, it is not up to you how I should see ME.

You walk in so vain and I must repeat one and two over and over until…

Three, you hug and say you love me but is that sincere?

Four, you cannot click on and rearrange me like that lame playlist you like to hear.

Happy,

Is what I felt before you inserted yourself in my life just like a parasite

Five, I know you are not leaving without a fight but I am.

Because I am happy the way I am,

I am happy with the individual I choose to be everyday

Six, you are leaving and you cannot tell me no for you have no say

Seven, I should have stopped at one and you should have left before two

This is my goodbye and

Eight, fuck you.

The issues I
