A poem about empathy.

Empathetic Me

I’m sorry for the bad things

that happen to people

on a daily basis.

There’s a lot of it and

it feels like there’s not much

I can do.

It gives me a knot in my

stomach and sometimes

I even cry.

I wonder what He would do;

but I am not perfect

like Him.

    Empathetic us. I believe that if He was not empathetic, we would not exist to witness his blessings. I think he appreciates empathy and I claim empathy in his image. Empathy is good. You are obviously loving, generous, and considerate or the pain of others would not affect you so. A beautiful share and thank you for posting.

    All we can do is to seek His face for redmption. Everyday we are reminded of our helplessness as human beings without God. Great articulation of your thoughts!

    It is He who is the most powerful. We can help others in our own small way.

    I don’t get poetry, but I think it was well written

  • Heloni Lynn on Mar 12, 2011

    @thespeakman
    I don’t get poetry either, lol – I just kind of write what comes out. Sometimes other people get it, sometimes they don’t – but my theory about poetry is that it’s like a personal thing. I remember reading this famous poem about tomatoes in high school that’s like really famous and thinking… isn’t that kind of like; a statement? But after reading about Emily Dickenson I realized a lot of what makes poetry special isn’t necessarily what you say but how you say it… Emily Dickenson had a well thought out purpose for every word and its position in her writings. Of course she had a lot of pent up emotions to express being a shut in…
