No to Freeloaders

I have written more than 700 articles

over a year of steady work.

And some days it earns four cents!

Ethical earning is hard,

bills are super easy to pile up.

Good friends who help in need are rare,

freeloaders are not,

so, I said no.

It's not only about money or resources,

but about time,

and even more, about emotional energy.

Let nobody take advantage of you too,

in the name of relations,

who show up for own needs.

Interactions must have

real empathy,

and ample vulnerability.

Nobody is opening here charity,

I will erect boundaries,

whenever I will sense callousness

whenever I will see shallowness.
