I didn't leave the group, my dear,
I'm still around, so have no fear.
I simply closed my gallery door,
You won't get previews from me anymore.
No grand announcement, no dramatic scene,
No farewell speech, no exit queen.
I'll let you chat, I'll let you scroll,
While I reclaim my peace of soul.
You used to see what I painted that day,
The colors I mixed, the creatures I made.
But somehow my brushstrokes became a crime,
And sharing my work was a waste of your time.
You post your gigs, I give you a heart;
I cheer for your wins and support your art.
But when I share mine, the verdict is “Mayabang!”
Well, pardon me, darling,my brush has a plan!
Since when did my canvas threaten your throne?
Did my sea creatures swim where your egos have grown?
Did my colors offend you, my talent cause fright?
Should I paint in the dark so you can sleep tight?
No, darling, no! I refuse to pretend
That creating my art is a crime to defend.
I won't hide my brushes or bury my dreams,
Or apologize for pursuing my schemes.
But here's a solution, so everyone's blessed,
I'll give you less access and give myself rest.
No more daily updates, no backstage view,
My private life isn't a show made for you.
My Facebook and Instagram? Those doors remain,
For art lovers who appreciate what I create.
I'll share with the world, let my colors unfold,
While keeping my circle selective, not cold.
Don't worry, I'm not bitter, I'm not keeping score
I'm simply not handing out passes anymore.
You can keep your opinions, your whispers, your chatter,
I've got bigger canvases, those things don't matter!
No feud, no revenge, no need to harass,
Just a private artist with boundaries of brass.
And if you should wonder why my updates are few,
I'm busy creating a world that's true.
My brush is still moving, my dreams still grow,
And the people who value my art will know.
I'll still wish you success, may your bookings increase,
But I'll no longer trade my comfort for peace.
I'll clap when I'm happy, share gigs when I can,
But my kindness isn't a lifetime membership plan!
So here's the announcement, delivered with class,
I didn't leave the group; I revoked your gallery pass!
