Sympathy translated
into empathy
and all you wanted was understanding
tap tap tap
morse code on yourself
we don't want your pity
just clean nails
just a voice
unmovable and desperate
but i got my left foot
sympathy translated
into pity
all i wanted was a needle
all i wanted was an ending
sympathy translated
into disgust
all i wanted was a gun
Author notes
im not paralyzed. i do not tap tap tap.

I really liked this one! No complaints other than I can't stop reading it over and over.
