I Get It
Empathic..... Taking on the pain
Of another as though
It bares your name
Finding relationships
Wearing as you carry
Not only your load ,but theirs and the daily payload(to capacity)
Needing to isolate
to reboot as it were
from continuous energy bombardment and drain
Reaching out to comfort
The grieving
And your own heart literally aches
Dealing with those
Who live to greedily
Prey on others
Feeling emotional
Physical
Psychological pain on the daily
It's like chicken man,it's everywhere ,it's everywhere
Hope you still
Remember that guy
Wanting to help
And given the side eye
for my trouble
Intuitively knowing
What I'd
Just as soon not
Seeing the world
In
Technicolor and surround sound(full volumn) especially hateful words
Resulting in seeing IT
As both
blessing and curse
Whichever it is
It's mine
I own it
Lock ,stock ,and predators
It's all
I've ever known
