I'm An Empath

         Could it be
               True
       that when ones
            Humanity
           shakes you
         like a rag doll
         as one fights
              Every
               Inch
           of the way
           not to feel
          ones Heart
              Break
   as you try to swallow
         the sobbing
        the Mournful
             Sounds
        one step away
        from the edge
        of your mind
        as your tears
          try to blur
       what you face
      as a fading echo
        of your voice
        in your head
          Whispers
     the golden rules
      Thou shall not
             Stare
       into the abyss
             Alone
     Thou can scream
       But thou is not
          Permitted
           to Jump
          to Merge
       with the Pain
           with the
           Despair
         Of Others
    For that is the way
         to Madness
     One Must Control
           The Pain
    Or one can pretend
             to be  
          Empathic
      when one is only
         Sympathetic
         with a quick
        google search
    and a puppet smile
            Boasting
   that you understand
          the feeling
       of the meaning
         of the word
           Empathic
        when in truth
             One is  
       Just a Parasite
            Feeding
         off the Pain
          Of Others
