Empath

They claim I’m understanding

That I listen so well

You take my advice

And then you leave

Ghosting me until

The next time you need help

Taking advantage of my kindness

I may be the light

But I’m not here to heal your darkness

You’ve drained my energy

That is where I draw the line

I’m setting boundaries

I’m protecting my energy

I’m prioritizing people who are here for me

And not my intuitive abilities

I’m a healer and I can’t change that

But I’m done being associated

With your pain

I’m not your temporary resource

To help you feel better about yourself
