Empathy'

I've been hurt before

Heartbroken by another

I've been depressed

Laying alone in tears

Crying on the bathroom floor

I've even attempted suicide

But

Never have I ever wished pain upon another 

Never have I ever wanted to see some else's tears

For
I know sadness

I've known it for years.

I'm a hypersensitive man 

I've felt the pain of another

More than a few times

So
I know how it feels to hurt inside

But

As
I grow older I'm starting to see that all of that pain wasnt meant for me

Wise realisation Paul. If we cannot love ourselves, how can we love others?
