FOR A FEW PEOPLE'S SELF INTEREST

SCARECROW DIGITAL ART BY CHRYSSA V.2014

I love myself

but I can no longer

financially support myself and 

there are many people 

for whom I'm responsible

many people who do not allow me

to keep my dignity intact anymore

I love myself

but for this reason precisely

I would commit suicide right now

so that I stay the person I was

and not the person who 

my responsibilities require me to become

I love myself

and it is tragic to

keep myself alive due to 

whatever is my duty to execute 

although it humiliates me

rather than to the joy of living

and to the euphoria of love

I love myself

I'm not here to attribute responsibility to

whoever is destroying my struggles and my creation

for self-interest, I am not here

even to punish but to mourn

I love myself

and realize the way things that

I hate the most are being worked out

the way that peace requires war

when freedom and raison d'être

are at stake for a few human being's personal benefit

against other human beings' dignity
