Everyone Loves a Story
Everyone likes a story
The journey, The craft
To stand in another’s shoes
Everyone likes story
But do they care about the behind the scenes?
The hopes and dreams of the antagonists
Events that don’t seem to make sense
Everyone likes a good story
But what makes a good story?
Conflict, struggle, redemption
The hero’s journey
You may cast judgement on a hero
Who has found themselves in
Their innermost cave
Trying to seize the sword
Grasping bravely
Everyone likes a story
Will you step inside mine?
Find your way around the world my mind
Has designed
Wear my shoes
See why I chose to do what I do
I step inside your shoes walk around in your world
See your journey is like mine
Everyone loves a story
Because everyone lives their story
I seek to be true to the path within me
To walk on my journey proudly
To see where your path intersects with mine
Will you walk with me?
That is empathy.
