The Empath
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
I take what isn't mine,
leaving what is good behind.
Taking the pain and leaving joy.
They smile, not knowing what I've done.
I cry over this, because I know what I've done.
I wear the mask.
As the smile openly.
No one knows what I do,
that I can sense and take emotion.
I can take pain and leave joy.
Though, I wish they did.
An Empath can feel what isn't their own feeling,
they can also take it from others.
Taking their pain so they wont.
That's what I do.
It's so much more than empathy,
it's feeling it in my very core that's not even mine.
Pain, sorrow, feeling hollow.
That isn't mine in the beginning.
I help by taking.
I save by containing.
But will anyone help,
or save me too?
Someone to understand,
an electic touch.
A gentle voice.
So much more than a friend is what I need.
Where to start?
I don't know.
I wish they'd know.
Because I guess they're not here.

I don't know.....
I guess it holds my truth
but I'm not sure what all it means myself
I guess it holds my truth

I've always had the desire to help people and over the years i'd would feel strange emotions that would just pop up from nowhere and i didn't really think about it until yesterday i would sometimes hear of empaths and when i looked it up and think back to my own experiences and it started to make since now i've been taking better control of the emotions i have but the best thing is I'm glad I'm not alone
