Lost My Empathy

Story by Leon Wolfric on SoFurry

I have lost my empathy,

Death no longer bothers me,

Maybe am blind

I could never see,

You mourn and pity them, why are the deaths of men,

A bad thing?

Always wanting life,

In this world of strife,

What is it I'm missing?

Does this make me cruel?

I don't want to be a tool,

Only there to be used,

By the hands of God and man.

You're always arguing,

Trying to decide,

To whom this land belongs,

When you die,

I do not pity you,

I fucking envy you,

Why do you try to,

Avoid death for so long?

I want to go,

Get out of here,

Just run away,

From this forsaken place,

I'm feeling trapped again,

I can never win,

Prolonging this existence is pointless,

It's gonna end,

And so I'm gonna be reckless,

When someone dies,

You break down and cry,

But why?

I just can't decide,

Can't make up my mind,

Why do I think this way?

I can't value your life,

And I think the reason why,

Is I don't value mine.
