The View from My Head

By AnniePublished 5 months ago • 1 min read

When I go to bed,

I picture the people in my life

Sleeping peacefully.

Wondering what their rooms are like,

Hoping they are cozy and rested,

Because I am an empath.

When I am driving,

I look at all the cars around me

And imagine the different stories inside.

Maybe they are rushing toward a first date,

Or fleeing from a bad day.

I see them carrying their own burdens, responsibilities, and joy,

Because I am an empath.

When I go on social media,

I see people sob to the internet

About problems that make mine feel dull.

I don't know them, but I mourn with them anyway,

Because I am an empath.
