A Perfect Trait

Oh empathy what tragedy, behold on me, do i see be.
Another soul, another life. Blessed with sorrow, filled with strife.

The simple things, thou have denied, deny my touch, foretell my life.
Bretherin, don't count them in, for what they've done, for they hold sin.

They hold it in, until they die. Only human's curiosity as to wonder why. A simple word, a simple try, a deed mistook, a chance gone by.

Oh, what will come if i preach this, maybe a feude, prehaps a kiss.
My honestly tells you of my fate. For empathy just cannot wait.

The guilt i feel for deeds not done, the pain i hold, the greed, i'm numb.

A funny thing, empathy can be. A cauldron of anxiety. Mixed with fear, depression, hate, as well as love my life can't wait.

I drink the potion given so. I swallow hate, i still feel low. I have but nothing left to speak. I've pondered days, thought for weeks.

Nothing to die for, except for one. To whom of which my empathy belongs. To her i feel the upmost guilt, the pain i brought, the hate i spilt.

To that one soul my empathy stays, behold her love, behind her grace.

I am an honest truthful soul. Yet empathy turns me ever cold. Towards myself, this devil i can be, towards my love, so harsh it seems.

Anxiety holds the key, to my anger from which i do release. Upon those whom i love the most, until my hate becomes my host.

Then after anger, empathy cries, i swallow sadness and close my eyes. The demon rests, for now inside.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. To slay this demon, to set me free, to cut the chains of anxiety. I must learn from empathy.

The sorry state in which i greive, can be brought about in my misdeeds, my fits of anger, storms of rage, can be stopped, they must be tamed.

For empathy is the key, its subtle pinch of reality. A sharp dose of a simple truth. A conduct stripped of thoughts uncouth.

Be sorry for the times you've Wronged. Be humble for the bad times gone. and thankful for the chances gave, be honest, faithful, ever brave.

Live to Love. Live to save.

Empathy can show us the reality behind others efforts and feelings, appreciate others as you would wish to be appreciated. Show empathy and forgive and forget. Life is too short to hold grudges. Live to save.

Oh empathy, the perfect trait.
