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.

  • Caged Birds

    You know what we are?

    We’re caged birds.

    Birds trapped in a gilded cage.

    They try to take away our freedom.

    But will we let them?

    What’s your answer to that?

    We can’t let them.

    But we already have.

    When did our country become a monarchy?

    When did it become an autocracy?

    But this new ruler

    This new president

    This new king

    He’s broken law after law

    Stripped away peoples rights
