I am [not] an empath

March 14, 2021

I am not an empath,

How could I possibly protect myself to lie and say;

After experiencing it all second hand,

More and more each day

And it is so overwhelming

what everyone goes through,

I see, feel, live, hear,

It's strange how I could say that I myself,

I am an empath.

(now read it again but from bottom to top)
