Change

Mon, 11/05/2018 - 17:35 -- Mew16

Empathy is a commodity

few can afford.

If you feel it,

you’re bound to have more 

than you bargained for

‘cause feeling can be painful.

It can drag you down,

the weight of the hate

that is spreading around.

If you start to take notice 

of what is happening 

there’s an obligation 

to do something.

To not stand down,

to put up a fight.

You may feel alone,

but that’s not right.

There are many others 

that feel the same 

so stand up 

and make a change.
