I don't exactly feel sad when you're sad
I try to sympathize but it's not a strength of mine
I want to help
I'm happy to be with you
Hold you when you cry
Wipe your tears
Crush the shudders away
I'm glad to do all that
Does that count as sympathy?
I hope so.

#vsspoem prompt: #Sympathize
Share. Boost. Reflect.
Hard to #sympathize
when things do not go your way
you always cry foul.
Winter's pinnacle
a lost mitten in the snow
I sympathise

ASIDE: what does it mean to be #alive? In Pancreas, the girl’s answer is to #sympathize with others, but she also realizes that she can only show her charm in the presence of others - as in, she’d be living for others. As such she becomes curious when she sees the boy unconcerned with being alone, his life only containing himself and books (this is not “shaming #otakus” as some think). Towards the end we see that the answer is a synergy of both: live with others while maintaining one’s self.
