Empaths

Empaths

Those fingers are on the pulse again,
all of a sudden your seeingΒ  into a crystal ball,
but your'e sensitivity doesen't know when to set boundarys,
it doesen'tΒ  know its limitations and you take everybody else's hurt,
like your indestructible.
You take the low moods and the depression too,
you can't differentiate whats yours and what isnt,
because your psychic,
your paranormal and perceptive and far to intuitive,
but its all to your detriment,
soon the energy starts to ebb away,
soon you find yourself exhausted.
After a while the subconsious side starts to sicken and can't work out why,
it doesen't know when its all become to much,
it doesen't realise the weight has become to much to carry.
Your the caretaker,
your the first responder,
and the one they all lean on,
because you soak it all up,
because you absorb,
but in the process you self-neglect.

Thanks poetess darkly.
i think im probably an Empath myself.
im lead to believe that creative people are sensitive to the sufferings of others.

I love the fact that you, not only did you shine a light into that side of an empath, but you didn't even have to do it from the POV of an empath, you did it from a third person sympathizing with the empath...WAIT SO... technically you did talk from the pov of an empath..... oh my god
I'm shook.

Thanks for your great response.
yes its quite a bizzare piece to write,an empath having empathy with an empath! Namely myself.and also a third party looking in on empath taking on someone else's issues.glad you had the insight to see it from all angles.Thankyou.
