Things on my mind, Can’t seem to find the right words To write a verse So they’re delivered in fragments “Just preying on the little lamb”, You’re so pragmatic you can’t Even give a **** So I just feel everything you can’t. You lack any capacity for empathy, And in return it makes me scream Internally - Only longing, For you to feel something, Anything. But it’s what I wouldn’t wish on my own Worst enemy. In the end, It’s a blessing. And maybe, I’d still take feeling it all Over nothing.

An ode to Empathy (Little Lamb)
Things on my mind, Can’t seem to find the right words To write a verse So they’re delivered in fragments “Just preying on the little lamb”, You’re so pragmatic you can’t Even give a **** So I just feel everything you can’t. You lack any capacity for empathy, And in return it makes me scream Internally - Only longing, For you to feel something, Anything. But it’s what I wouldn’t wish on my own Worst enemy. In the end, It’s a blessing. And maybe, I’d still take feeling it all Over nothing.
Haven’t posted anything in years. Hope you enjoy my ode to empathy
