“Complementary Features – Empathy and Assertiveness”
Empathy and assertiveness, two complementary traits,
One helps us connect, the other helps us state,
The former is the force that helps us understand,
The latter is the force that helps us take a stand.
Empathy is the trait that helps us feel,
To understand others, and their ordeal,
It’s the compassion that fuels us with care,
And the kindness that helps us be fair.
Assertiveness, on the other hand, is the force that empowers us,
That helps us speak up and discuss,
It’s the confidence that helps us stand our ground,
And the courage that helps us make our sound.
So let us practice empathy and assertiveness,
And let our hearts be filled with compassion and firmness,
For empathy helps us build bridges,
And assertiveness helps us speak up our messages.
