The understanding of others is little
Of the pain I feel when I care.
Like great knives of empathy
stabbing into my soul
Dragging me down into an abyss of...
e m o t i o n s
You see, I absorb feelings, literally
I deal with, not only my own,
but others as well.
And I carry all on my shoulders.
Hence, empathy is my
b u r d e n
Unfortunately, I cannot hide.
Only sit and wait
Until either I build up the courage
To bring on more issues
Or let them crush me.
