| The usual compassion |
I spend my time looking past the ugliness in other people because I like the buried gems inside. I feel compassion for the abuses or hardships or horrors that cause these ugly character flaws, so what happens? My life is surrounded by character flaws.
What happens with compassion? I can't use my own computer because drunken jealousy password-protected it from me. So now that the drunken slumber has finally begun, I have to use the computer in the drunken domain, sticky with spilled wine, stinking with beers and cluttered with nips.
What happens with compassion? Everyone I used to love to know is a ghost to me, a ghost because of death or a ghost because of jail or a ghost because of drugs.
What happens with compassion? Younger siblings I try to protect from harm because like me there are no parents willing to protect them, but they don't trust me, they trust the deceit they grew up to believe and fall victim to the manipulation. They do not heed my warnings. So now the ones I warn them about hate me, and so do the ones I try to protect.
What happens with compassion? The ones who might even want to help you think you're too strong and level to need it, when you really need it the most. Or they just think you like to control and resent you for it. They don't see the love in your actions. They are not compassionate. This is why you can understand all you want, but will not be understood by the ones who need you to understand.
Vicious cycle of the needy and the needed.
Better go mop up the piss all over the bathroom floor, and the hallway, and the tub... better throw away all the "empties", better get the groceries and make the meals and clean up this disaster area so that when the drunken slumber awakns, I might be able to enjoy some time.
What happens with compassion? Life sucks, but if it weren't for the compassionate, it would suck all the time for everyone else, too.
Everyone will be here anyway even if no one loved them. It's better that someone does.
