I see love, I see hate
How can I be selfish
When there's me all around
Do you see me in yourself
Do you feel what I feel
How can I love myself
Without loving you
Is it a paradox
Or is it all an illusion
Do I really love myself
Do I really love you
Am I dreaming
Do I let you slip into the night
Will I wake to find I don't care
Did I ever care
Yes, I do care

This reminds me of that saying; what you dislike most in another person, is what you dislike most about yourself. Your poem inspires reflection. Thank you...

I really like this as it portrayed deep insight to one's self and one another. Although this didn't conventionally rhyme, it still conveyed something meaningful. And I agree with your proverb "empathy inspires kindness." Nowadays people often forget that. Well done...

take care
