Feeling For Two

Some people feel for one

Feel for themselves

Their own emotions inside them

Aware of others but still feeling one.

Some people feel for two

Some people feel for more

Feel the pain of others become their own

The joy of others brightening their hearts.

A burden and a blessing.

To feel for others

To try and take their pain and solve their problems

It breaks your heart

It tears you apart

Sometimes the only way to help is to be broken yourself.

But it makes you strive for joy

To see others smile

To hear them laugh.

And sometimes it's difficult breaking yourself

Sometimes you give too much

And the sadness comes and leaves you empty

And you question why you do it

Why you are here

Why you give until you can't anymore

What this life is for.

Then you look

And see the smiles and joy

The joy you created

And it fills you up

And the love those people radiate chases away the darkness

And you overflow with happiness

And you can't help but give.

Feeling for two is a blessing and a curse

Breaking you and building you

Shaping you

But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
