Empath

being an empath

By Abi Rose TravisPublished about a year ago 1 min read

What would it be like to be someone who only takes

Someone who doesn’t care how others operate

What would it be like to not feel what others feel

To not care if the “I’m Fine” was fake or real

To not fix others in an attempt to help fix yourself

To not pull others out of darkness while your heart sits on a shelf

Always saying “It’s nothing’

Internally screaming “It’s something!”

Never wanting to diminish others pain

With your troubles…your fears…so you refrain

Hide the tears and smile

Smother the darkness … smile

Smile

Smile

It will be okay … in awhile
