I'M An Empath

I'll love you if you love me,
respect you if you respect me,
I'll help people that I actually hate
to kill the unhappiness they create

I'll speak truth, won't avoid being straight
falseness traits, fakes, liars I don't appreciate, 
I'll only manipulate those whom manipulate,
it's a one off for me, I'll let the evil devastate, 

I'll let people abuse me to the point they don't care, 
they'll miss me and want me back when I'm not there, 
I'll notice intentions and seem most unaware, 
I'll build up your confidence and kill it when you dare

I can see your opinion and your point of view, 
understand why you do what you do, 
so I can be on your side and see you truly too, 
and when you try to get me I'll see it before you

You can't hurt me twice if you didn't hurt me once,
nothing and no one will change past influence, 
narcissists love me and use me like a sponge 
they win but I'll have won destroying their sense 

I'm an Empath who is kind caring and easily led, 
when I look at people I see only the best, 
my heart overpowers the thoughts in my head, 
but I'll always seek truth and I'll leave you for dead 

However you treat me your intent is noticed, 
I'm nice but my evil side is explosive 
but I wont use it unless yours is noted 
I only want nice things and that's how I live 

It's a way people see as their advantage
and set about using me as theirs to manage, 
until man oh man I hate to do this,
forced to defend myself and cause you damage

I'll be loyal if you're loyal 
I'll be your friend and best mate,
if you know an empath like me 
please don't realise to late
