Lost and Found
It amazes me
To this day
With all the murders
And all the hate
With all the evil that is done everyday
That I still have tears to shed
That I still feel compassion
That I still hurt inside for those affected
I was afraid
I might become numb
That I may no longer care
That I would become used to it
Thankfully not,
Thankfully I do still feel
I do still hurt
I do still shed tears of sorrow
I do still have compassion
I do still care
I was worried I had lost my humanity
As it turns out
I just temporarily misplaced my sanity
Eric (and sometimes not)
