I know exactly what you mean here. I love the way you worded it. Empathy can be so difficult. I love the second stanza. Beautiful work.

Interesting, I like it. And I like your pen-name, too, by the way. The description of the radio was good...and I also enjoyed the way you implied the emotions instead of stating them. It's the awful "show, don't tell" again, isn't it. Ah! Save me from English teachers! Anyway, this was really well-done, now excuse me while I scream, LOL.
