Raina Allen Poet Lyric

My Empathetic Heart

I feel forgotten and stranded
I'm always here for you 
Yet I'm always abandoned
I feel your emotions 
As if they're my own
Maybe it's my empathetic heart
I need to learn to disown

I can't tell if the world is against me
Or teaching me a lesson
My motto is to live free
And keep on progressin
But sometimes I need a hand to hold
need somebody to lean on
I don't ask for much
Why's this topic so hard for us to
Agree upon

I'm always there for you when you need me to be
Yet here I am alone trying to figure out why
 it's so lonely to be me 
I'm asking you this question
Because it weighs heavy on my heart
Why's it that everyone I love's
Always trying to rip me apart...

Find folks that are willing to meet you halfway (or ones capable of that at some point), or at least ones that won't sap your energy until run dry. Great write.
