The Story of an Empath

I can't go on like this,
There's just too much pain.
I can't go on like this,
There's simply nothing to gain.

Don't ask me to hurt for you,
Don't even think to try.
Don't ask me to die for you,
I'm already going to cry.

I hate this feeling that I have,
The way they make me feel.
But I'm an empath, it's what I do,
I take the pain and heal.

My chest is burning,
I can barely breathe,
Tears in my eyes,
My insides seethe.

Someone please save me,
Take this pain away,
Let me be free,
Oh please, some day.

My tears fall unnoticed,
No one seems to care.
I need someone to help me out,
I need the chance to share.

But that's my job, I bitterly say.
Remembering what I do.
I'm an empath, it's what I do,
And that will always hold true.

Hold true until the day I die,
Which approaches way too slow.
I decide to myself to speed it up,
And that is now my goal.

I stood on a cliff, looking down,
At the sharp rocks far below,
I closed my eyes, a smile on my face,
And stepped forward, off I go!

And so now you are here, reading this,
My final etipath,
I hope you'll remember this,
The Story of an Empath.
