love

Love isn't something natural. (…) It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.
(Erich Seligmann Fromm)


Fromm, that awesomе guy,
totally nailed it about love –
not this natural vibe,
more like a practice.

well, guess what?
I'm in a different practice.
I ain't about giving up
on myself for love.

he would call me
selfish,
narcissistic,
self-obsessed,

but let's be real:
I've been counting down
the days until I can live 
for the filthy pleasures
without this whole
love drama.

I'd say, it's nothing wrong about egoism. Because it's a kind of survival...
Love by Fromm - nice, you've read it!)

Yeah, I read it, thank you! Honestly, it's a great book, full of good insights. My rhyme is kind of playful, not too serious, but it's pretty spot on, haha..))
