"Empathy"

 
A quite inspired relation to all those,
quarrels, and qualms, I let go my foes
live and treat the others all unrealistically;
unreasonably, respectfully, eventually
this hurts me, try to stay humble, really.

Darkness has given me a crash course
in empathy, helped to see others remorse.
This source, leaves me hoarse, subconsciously;
statistically, unbelievably, historically,
it’s left me sad, in melancholy.

Empathy, a great burden left on me,
many times I wish I could be free,
heavy things to carry, as I might;
conceit, might (have) respite
may not be right, just grit teeth tight.
