empathy is a double edged sword

although it lets me comfort others in ways some may not be able to

in doing so i drink their pain

it flows into my body until i can feel the same

which is it?

pain? for not being able to help or prevent it?

anxiety? for worrying about what might happen?

or anger? at those who caused the pain?

i do not know

and the willingness of my empath's heart to feel the emotions of others

terrifies me
