The Empath

They’re highly intuitive

Their gut never forsakes them

They see what others don’t see

in an extraperceptory sense

:

They feel what others aren’t even

able to feel for themselves

:

They feel you

even without words

:

In a deep connection

from miles away

they can feel your pain

:

Their compassion overflows

to those who are suffering

:

They may not always know

how, what, or when to say it

But they do their best

to be there for you

and help you understand

you’ll be okay

:

Their words may not always

be what you want to hear

but it’s usually what you need to hear

:

They keep it real

because they feel you

and most likely have been there

:

They'll lead you to heaven from hell

They know the winding road all too well

:

Sometimes their care feels

like ripping off a band aid

to let the air dry your wounds

Or the sting of alcohol on a cut

to fight the infection lurking in your veins

:

But they’ll do what they have to

to help heal you

:

Even if it initially hurts

them or you

They know that sometimes

working through the pain

is the best medicine

:

Sometimes that’s their biggest flaw

Caring too much for others

with the almost unshakeable

urge to help fix

everyone's problems

:

They struggle with boundaries

physically, emotionally

but mostly energetically

because they naturally feel connected to all things

:

But

they’ll pray for you

without your knowledge

Send you light

when you’re in darkness

:

Because they feel you so deeply

and want to help heal your heart

:

They care immensely for others

that sometimes it’s too much

:

When they do something wrong

unlike the common person

they cannot rationalize themselves

out of guilt or inaction

They must step up to the plate

and mend the damage that’s been done

:

And when the day is done

they need to recharge

They need alone time

to come back home to themselves

:

They love people

but dislike crowds

and relish in the time with themselves

:

Although they can deeply empathize

They’re often misunderstood

Their kindness undervalued

or overlooked

:

After bleeding their hearts out to others

and helping mend the hearts of others

Quality alone time

is how they return the love to themselves

that they have given away throughout the day

without any tethers or expectations
