I Choose Empathy
Even during a teary rainfall
Even during an angry noon
Even beaten by a barrage of hail
Or an emotional flood overwashing all
I Choose Empathy
Even when I cannot sleep
Even when the moon forgot to shine
Even when the sky black-washes its stars
And night regrets begin to creep
I Choose Empathy
Even when it's lonely
Even when they are cold
Even when the rest of the world has forgotten hope
And has succumbed to nihilism and sinistry
I Choose Empathy
Even when I am the last man standing
When I am the last soul shining
Even as my enemies attempt to taunt me
My heartbeats lead steadily even there
With Courage commanding
