I killed Myself

I killed myself
As I felt the need
The need to crush self
The need to crush greed.

I born myself again
As my body remains,
Ready to regain
Breaking the fence.

I didn't kill myself
But the false identity
Forced by family
Forced by society.

I didn't born myself again
But a little part of nature
Without any pain
Without any pleasure.

Your poem powerfully captures the painful process of shedding societal expectations to reclaim one's authentic self. By boldly redefining "death" and "rebirth" as acts of personal liberation rather than physical endings, it breathes new life into the theme of self-reinvention. Great work.
