Of Empathy and Boots

Feedback Received!

If you have a problem with me, that's what it is, you see?

Your problem not me.

Well, I suppose not necessarily.

How do I explain this in a honest manner? Without strangling you in a tight woven self-righteous banner?

Let me put it this way;

I make mistakes, and so do you. I sometimes struggle to find myself, and you will too.

As we are both made from stardust and atoms. Brawny bone cartilage and slinky skin stratums.

I will do things that make you frustrated. That seem so simple minded, that seem so outdated.

And you and i will get into disputes. Belittling each other, and stomping our boots.

But if we take our boots off, and take a deep look inside, you'll find they both got soles, warm and worn with pride.

Listen;

To wrap things up, let me just say; we can both be assholes, and that's A-okay.

Just remember when you get mad, my opinions are different, sure, but not necessarily bad.

And Its quite important you know, we both wear different boots but share a warm sole.
