Talk

Easy for you to talk
when you don't know what you mean with your words
It's easy to offer comfort or judgment
when you don't understand how deep you're hitting
Being sincere is a cheap defense
and is good enough for an explanation only for the restless conscience
Empathy, what is it
that is what you too should ponder

It's effortless to be wise and kind
when it's not your problems that are under the lens
and you can be realistic and mightily sensible
if you don't need to be in danger yourself
Guns are not needed to hurt a man
because words and the anxiety bring are more than enough
to do even more terrible damage
Understanding, that is what is needed
but is it something you possess

Yes, you are now just a merciful seer
but remember that pride truly goes before a fall
and no one will offer you comfort
when you yourself fall and are in the same position

Translated by Sith Fisto.
