EMPATHY


Empathy is why I cry
Come on now
I'm not a guy
With testosterone calling
In my veins
So I'm not bawling
Estrogen is such a witch
Little chemical that breaks the bi!ch
Down all of her life
So if you're not a woman
Mother or a wife
You probably cannot understand
Empathetic plan
To put the shoes of
Someone elses on your feet
To walk some miles
To know their whiles
Smiles and devotions
If you're not a female
I wonder if empathy
Can even be
One of your life's potions?
