Apathy

It could be worse my problems are hardly there she has it worse her parents are divorced and no one will talk to her he is slowly losing his hair thinner by the day maybe he will live through the month to his eighth birthday My depression is nothing tantamount to the mountain out of a molehill in a society defined out of mountains obstacles to climb competing for attention no one cares about anyone else’s problems. Apathy is slowly and surely replacing our empathy and yet no one sees that people’s problems are more than farcical attempts to draw attention that between the bad and the worse some people still have it rough that even if you personally aren’t suffering enough you still hurt Blowing off our hurt in exchange for our pride doing the same to everyone else ‘cause if they can’t see us then we surely don’t want to see them empathy given that isn’t returned is something for the price of nothing that maybe could make the world a better place a better person Exchange our apathy for some empathy start to heal ourselves for maybe we only need someone to see that maybe we aren’t so bad
