Human Again

By Purposelessness

I have prayed to gods
Trusted in devils
Fallen in love
With angry rebels

I have known the world
And forgotten all
Lived as creatures
Great and small

All my pain
Is all of yours
All your wounds
Are all my sores

I can't go on
But I can't fade
I'll even be you
One of these days

At first I was feeling this was about empathy until I read the tags. Despite the experience of pain repeated it's a comforting thought to think there are future opportunities to get it right. Maybe eventually to even break the cycle. Thought provoking, thank you for sharing.

There is definitely an aspect of empathy to this one. I have had trouble with the whole tagging business to be honest. Thank you.
