Pity

Alan R

…And sometimes

I feel grateful, powerful

In knowing that I pitied someone

Knowing, I have the luxury to do so

Instead of loving them

Pity has its boundaries defined

Unlike my love

….And they can hardly tell

The difference, most days

They never stop to care enough.

    A lovely thought and so well expressed in poem. Pity robs the receiver of power while love empowers
