Invisible

When a man twists his ankle, or falls and breaks his leg, 

it's his self inflicted karma, so why help - do we beg?

Do you ridicule when he screams, in agony and deep pain, 

Or do you empathize and be there, these being the responses sane.

When a man has a fever, is out of action for some time,

We appreciate body fighting virus, it's a boon, not a crime. 

Do you ridicule the weird symptoms, why his body is out of whack, 

Or do you let him recover peacefully, cut him some slack.

When a man is trapped, in a building that's on fire,

Do we really think he chose 5th floor, that death his desire?  

Do you ridicule when he jumps, to escape the smoke and burns, 

Or do you go all out to reach him, never mind the diminishing returns.

My pain may not be visible, but it sure as hell feels real, 

Don't shun me as a crazy attention hog, if you can help that would be ideal.
