Associations of a kind, where interpersonal
Connections seem apparent are my specialty
It's so easy to combine, shared glances and hugs
Let me guess at where a sentence leads
I deftly manage the depths of
Other people's psyches, it's sort of second nature to me
Put their feelings in words they understand
In turn they gain the power of relating to me
A strong bond is established
Together we take action where caution would seem passive
It's a skill that took time to develop
And lessons that led to wisdom from pain, remain treasured
Though misunderstood, and enigmatic
The truth is if you looked in the mirror, you'd understand it
I only show you what is hidden in us both
When the revelation occurs, you will feel the growth
Intuitive attunement, to other people's pain
Was learned, when I stood in my own personal ruins
And the loneliness of shame crushed me
When I faced my demons and lost, thusly
The pride subsided, wasn't pious, just trying
To make sense of the drama, now relevant to the past tense
Fast forward to the present day
See myself in strangers I let embrace me
Connected with souls from abroad, as the pen
Gained in strength, yet it didn't dull the sword
Love paid forth brought returns that are
Unquantifiable, met children that knew me better
Than adults, young hearts teach lessons
I now forward in sessions, may you find the same wisdom
Metamorphisis to a man that knows
Empathy matters more than the rift between the poor and rich
All that can be bridged, we need no sorcerers
Just a connecting force that makes jaws drop like porcelain
Let's call it sense uncommon, we sought revenge
For horrors, but the wars must end
You see the column for the losses and wins
Is a cul de sac, 'cause whatever we gain, we owe it back
