Empathetic empathy.

Change the world? 

How? 

Do I even know ? 

The pain inside of each one of us, 

it's catastrophic. 

Do I understand? 

Who understands the pain of someone else, 

the pain people hide , 

on their inside shelf. 

Hoping, praying, urging 

that if they just, 

walk away, 

it will turn to dust, 

and blow away. 

What change would make the world a better place? 

No makeup? 

Kindness in the workplace? 

One word is the answer. 

Only one. 

It is the solution, the answer, the equalizer; 

Empathy.
