Listening

I speak, you speak.

Together we share the emotions we’re feeling.

Giving and taking that wonderful thing called Empathy.

Together.

We speak our minds, cry together.

Share our fears, our thoughts, our feelings.

And we help each other.

We give a listening ear.

We talk, then we listen, each in turn.

Our friendship is full of heartfelt conversations.

Speaking together, listening together.

Giving and taking that empathy we both need.

Feeling heard.

Feeling like we matter.

That’s the true power of Empathy.

  • Death's Door

    When someone is sick, we say they're on Death's doorstep.

    But aren't we always?

    People always act like we're so far away from death.

    But really we're not.

  • Me

    Who am I?

    I don’t even know anymore.

    I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.

    Yet, I’m still that person.

    I’m both at once and neither.

    So who am I?
