Un don

I started this on Facebook, but I feel it's probably more appropriate here. Might as well actually use this thing, right? Right.

God gave me the gift of compassion.  I have a very deep and sincere desire to help anyone I can.  I try to bring positivity to others even when that is farthest from how I'm feeling.

But some days it's very hard for me to see the Light when surrounded by people harboring so much anger, hate, negativity and darkness.  Some days I can't stand how much it hurts when I'm met with confrontation, ridicule, and rejection.  I honestly don't understand how a person can do such a thing to another person.

I am a lot more sensitive than I appear.

I care about my friends more than I know how to express. Time and distance does not lessen my fondness of a person, even when I'm frequently not met with the same sentiments.

Sometimes I feel I've lost my voice and gained invisibility. 

Sometimes I truly wish I could care a little less.  

But who am I to reject a gift from God?

I wish I wasn't having one of those days.
