Compassion

My compassion visited me today
I welcomed it into my home 
And asked how was their day

My compassion told me 
How wonderful it was 
He told me of the people 
He  was able to help 
Of the people he forgave 
The patience he showed 

Then my compassion looked to me 
And asked what about me? 
And I told my compassion I had a rough day
That I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror today
That I didn’t feel like I accomplished much
That I feel like I let down the people around me every day
That I just felt like a failure with no hope

And my compassion looked at me 
With rage in his face 
He told me to get over it and stop being such a wimp and to man up and do the hard things in life cause no one is going to help you do it. That no one will ever truly like you or be successful.

My compassion never did like me  he never did have the time to listen to my day
He was always out there saving other people's day

My Compassion never treated me the same way.
