Empathy.


I wish that everyone knew how I felt when they said something hurtful to me

A mean comment can leave some serious debris

Your words stick to me like a disgusting flea

YOU LAUGH AT EVERYTHING!

What happens when i can no longer handle this pain

I won't make it to the age I use a cane

I might take my own life without a strain

From this what did we gain?

Hopefully empathy.
