Empath

When you feel so much that you become numb.

Pain running through my veins, and I wonder when it will go away.

They're so much in this world; the good and the bad.

So much to comprehend, but a single mind like me can only resonate.

I wonder if this is a gift or a curse to understand another being.

Out of all my writing, this one felt different from me, and the day when I wrote this was the day I realized what I am; an empath. This is a silly comparison, but when I wrote this poem, It felt like how Aang ( The Main character from the show Avatar, The Last Airbender) was going through the Avatar State for the first time. I felt truly connected with myself at a pivotal moment in my life; however, as time passes on, the connection became somewhat silent in me. However, my hope is not lost where I am learning to become mindful of how my emotions tend to react with others. I understand this is a process, and for those who can resonate, I pray for the best for you in this journey called life.
