Not very good

I'm not very good at empathy.

I can't read the room and feel what nobody has spoken of.

I can see when somebody is sad,

but it's not like I can feel it.

Of course, I can try. 

But I can't actually feel what they're feeling. 

I'll sit next to them, and say that it'll be okay.

But it's not like I'm able to see their emotions.

Does that make me a bad person?

If I can't feel their sadness if they don't tell me why?

Is that wrong?

Should I just feel sad by seeing them sad?

I'm told that just sitting there is good enough.

But good enough isn't what I want.

I want to be able to feel what they feel.

But I can't,

does that make me a bad person?

Maybe it does, 

maybe it doesn't.

But maybe-

just maybe-

trying is enough for now.
