Analysis of As it does

Richard J Edwards 1960 (Ft Belvoir)



As it does an empath cares to much and to often. As if the heart was on the sleeve it's there constantly for the world's daggers to repeatedly hit. We don't desire this but do we think we have that one little element to fix everything  yes this is the case. It's not about self pride it's about a desire to be some help to all. We see someone suffering and we feel it as well. Can we please turn away I think not.
