Without them

DON’T LISTEN TO THE VOICE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

The Voice Of The Abuser
Tells You No One Else
Will Ever Love You

No One Else
Will Ever Want You

And It Is
Very Sad
That You
Have Believed
Them

Window To The Soul

 

When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal.

I see a Living Being.

I see a Friend.

Empathy, an Acrostic

Extend your soul from its deepest self
Meeting sorrow while not fearing pain
Place your feet in their shoes of sadness,
Accepting tears as moments of emotional rain

Sympathy vs Empathy

Contemplating the post of a dear friend
I felt the pain that was related in word
Reading what others sent as a response
Had me wondering the feelings stirred.
