Are You Happy Now?

O.E.O

"Do it as I say?"
"Never say ney?"
"Are you okay?"
Yes, I am fine.
Are you happy now?

Never again will I obey.
But I have no choice but to abide and not look dismayed.
Because I fear what they will feel and say.
Are you happy now?

I have done as you ask.
Even sacrificed my own task.
Because I fear being called selfish.
Are you happy now?

"I am just looking out for you".
"I want the best for you".
"You wouldn't understand".
"You wouldn't be able to comprehend my sacrifices."
"So, be happy now".

I have done as you say.
I didn't say ney.
I am "fine".
Are you happy now?

You seem happy now.
Good Night.
