🪷The Raft of Empathy
another poem on empathy (what I'm thinking about lately)
Their feelings come at me
like waves in a storm,
but I must stay standing,
strong, wise, and warm.
I get knocked down quickly
when I try to stand
by shoving my own feelings
under the sand.
But give myself empathy,
and I have a raft
that can hold us all
till our storms have passed.
