Empathy Vs Sympathy
by Raihan binti Zamani (Group 3)
Sympathy
You may feel it
But you don't show it
You may cry
But you don't try
You may be on the lookout
But you don't let it out
You may be worried
But you don't go hurried
Empathy
You go inside
To those who hide
To all those fears
You go and help
To the ones who yelp
You go running
To the ones who crying
Empathy
Not like sympathy
It is someone who loves you
No matter who you are
Not someone who leaves you
And change who you are
Emphasising You
By Liyana Nabihah (Group 13)
The sub goes down and darkness cloacks the night
And after the uphill, downhill follows
After every happiness, challenges arouse
But do not fear
For I am here
So convey to me your sorrows
Falling down is an accident
Staying down is a choice
So, hold my hand
And share with me the pain I hear from your voice.
Empathy
By Nur 'Alya binti Sharifuddin (Group 19)
The dark days
Closing the velvet drapes
Where everything seems like a maze
The she is trying to escape.
A shoulder to lean on
Is all she needs
Everything is gone
And she starts to bleed.
Empathy
Someone to understand me
I need to be
TH eone to save her.
Again I am trying
To understand her pain
She kept on crying
And ran out in the rain
To let out everything
That kept her in chains.
Finally
I tried
I saved her
From committing suicide.
Empathy
Makes the world a better place
Sympathy
Makes you lower your gaze.
Hey You
By Nur Sufeena Sufi Bt Mara Ridhuan (Group 23)
Hey you
What are you doing over there
Staring long at the invisible stars
I can see your face from afar
Thinking about something that is bothering you.
Hey yoy
What is with that sad face of yours
Does your heart sores?
Or is it something that you want to ignore?
Hey you
Under all of that tears
I know you have been through a lot of tihings
I feel you
I have been there before
But just to let you know, you can do this.
Hey you
Whatever you are having right now
I will always be there for you
During your sad days or happy days
We will get through this together
And that is a promise.
Empathy
Wan Mohamed Nazeem (Group 33)
You're amongst a sea of faces
All unrecognizably distant
You shout out from several paces
But alas the silence is consistent.
Your mind and soul feels shrouded
You're feeling a little blue
Everywhere you go seems crowded
But, remember there's always someone
Just like you.
You're hunched over defeated
Hopeless in despair
But then a warmth touches you
And says
"It's okay, we been there"
The world finally fills with color
The fog finally subsides
Superficiality isn't what connects us
For as empathy is out true guide.
