EMPOWERING SELF EMPATHY

She listened to the taunts whole day.

The perils of being a house help - she was subjected to humiliations often.

In the beginnings, it did affect her..

For nights on end, after work, into her pillows she'd cry.

Asking God why...oh why, she had to face it all.

Why, she was cursed with such cruelest fate of all?


But, gradually, she learnt to ignore; as ignorance is bliss she'd heard,

Nothing will affect, be nonchalant...

Don't let other's words even a dime, affect...

Listen through one ear, throw it from the other.

And 'lo and behold, it indeed worked wonders.


She gave her work a hundred percent, but, never let anyone affect her morale.

At nights, she no more cried into her pillows; instead,

It was her me-time, she'd not waste a single moment dwelling in others.

The whys, the hows, the whats, ...the ifs, the buts...

She had no time no more for such negatives,

The off-time was all hers ~ to pamper and cherish.
