Empathy, opposite of sympathy
Empathy, a path to eulogy
Humility requires unwavering mercy
Perspicuity stretches capacity
I’m sorry your trauma was someone else’s trophy
From the jump, even family was phony
I’m sorry you were born to a diabolical, Mommy
I’m sorry you only knew a bedroom, Papi
I’m sorry your trials marketed an international story
Snakes, wait, sorry, you called them your homie
Watch you unravel
Left lonely in battle
Victim blamed,
Unhealed wounds traveled
Shattered plates, scars; still weigh as worthy
I’m sorry your mind has to recall such tragedy
Invest in Emmanuel, the most prominent attorney
Not my book,
Merely an apology
I’m sorry this is life,
And all part of our odyssey
