A selfish thought

I'll stop.
I'll stop being bad,
I'll stop making people sad,
I'll stop sinning
And fooling around.

I'd stop...
But why stop being who I am?
Why being the victim of others' scam?
Why being week?
Well... I could use this as a trick!

I am a little selfish
And... yes, I 'm fake
But these are my sins.
So, what if I make mistake after mistake?


This is the first draft, unmodified. Inspired by a short conversation between two of my neighbors.
It was really funny listening to that shallow conversation between two women excusing themselves for their behavior by blaming human nature.
