Empath

With an understanding so deep for others

Yet, she can\'t decipher what she feels within

Ever heard of an empath with an inability to understand

Understand the feelings that arise and perish

Staying hidden in the back of the mind

Swelling up inside her chest ready to explode

Have you ever heard of an empath with feelings with no place to go?

Have you ever been an empath lost and losing sight of hope?

My poems understand the stories told by the world

While I remain incapable to write a poem that tells my story

A story that comes from within

What is an empath that can only decipher the feelings of others?

From human to beast

But does not know her own

An empath with feelings no place to go

And call home
