Is This a Poem?
Is it still a poem if it’s not depressing?
Am I still an artist if I’m not tortured?
Is it wrong to want to see the world through rose-tinted glasses?
I’m still angry at the injustice but not in the way I used to
Is it wrong to live so I love?
Am I still fighting for my causes if I don’t shout as loud?
Am I still a good feminist if I don’t march?
Is it okay to be happy at a time like this?
Can I be content at a time like this?
Is it okay if I want to make you happy too?
Do you want to be happy?
Is this still a poem if I want you to be happy?
