What It Means To Be An Empath

What it means to be an empath, is far too much to say
i surely couldn't say it all, in a single day

suffice it to say

an empaths life is frought with wonder and dispair
just imagine if you could feel anothers heart and all thats happening there
now imagine that there are two or three as well as your own heart
and now your in a crowd and yourself is hard to part

every little thing like the sounds of busy town
just with the emotions empaths can feel around

I am an empath
 i can see whats deep inside
from a place within your heart
you cannot see but i can hide
oh yes an empath knows you
like your own mother would
all it takes is a few seconds 
to see beneath the wood

you see everything thats human 
can be reduced to emotions see

you think your thoughts are hidden
they're not hidden from me

being an empath, is kind of like to be
on a rollercoaster cinema
with movies flying free
the problem with this is you have no control over what you see

believe me for an empath
lifes a very different street

empaths are gifts to the world you see
but sadly for the empath is hounding misery

to be able to see so much in others clear
and yet all advice and sights to fall on deaf ears

this is the suffering of an empath that makes a gift a curse
to have more work than can be done
and see suffering the worste

you see we feel so deeply, that your pain is our own
its our duty to help you, only listen to the tone.

This poem could go on forever, emotions have no end
but now i'll stop for your sake
i think you got the jist within the blend.
