Questioning what things are so sad to see
Disheartened by revelations so clear
Hearing tales and stories, swearing this cannot be
Dying inside, little by little, because it's all so near
---
Hearing of woe spreading like plague
Not the same as you suffer each day
All seems so clear and yet so vague
It wafts off them as they pass by on their unmerry way
---
Pungent in the air around each corner and at every turn
Blending inside each of your awakened cells
It permeates the senses like odors during a burn
Reminding one of all those individual hells
---
Energy blends and powers, or infects with no choosing
A happiness thats faked leaving ones sad
From the young joys to pain over those their losing
Sickness causing that one to fear losing his dad
---
Don't touch without warning as the powers filled with might
Overcoming inentions that were born for this day
For ones only doing what they believed was right
But the power washed over thee, as they were about to pay
---
Felt it you did, from a place down below
And the end of the voices doesn't come soon
From that first contact you did know
It struck you with the weight of the moon
---
Seeing things not seen by others did worry thee
Carrying the feelings of the pain
Seeing the faces of their demons was scary
Knowing never would life be the same
---
It was forced upon thee, so unfair
No question or resolve not to be
All that is good is not always there
This insanity of feeling, a curse upon thee
---
Your ache on the insides as your hollowed from within
Left marked by every inch of their sorrow
Wishing deeply that empathy had failed to begin
Fearing it will still be there tomorrow
