Empathy?
January 23, 2012
A sad, sorry cry for sympathy,
I want just a little, just a little empathy.
There must be someone who understands the way I feel.
So come on please, just take the wheel,
and steer me there, to this one I desire.
The one with the water, for my life is on fire.
Burning, cracking, falling down around me.
The smoke in the air brings me to my knees.
I scream, the sandpaper sound ripping my throat.
“Oh please God, take pity, and just let me go.”
