Mirta Liliana Ramirez

When I Stop Being Myself

When I stop being myself

I’m always myself

But there are people determined

To find flaws in the milk…

I’m kind, empathetic, and charismatic

But there are people

who, with words or actions

overcome my desire to distance myself…

They are people who love

To poke at the wound

And continue to widen the wound…

And yes, I’m human and I react

And I stop being myself for a moment…

To endure until I’m sick of it

It’s not right

Because the explosion

can leave relationships mortally

wounded and the dead don’t rise…
