Bobbing Around
She drowns in empathy
yet doesn't get sympathy
from those who sink her
to the absolute bottom
of their plight.

A perhaps sad commentary on certain
aspects of the physics of existence....
I do not know if such things should
modify one's behaviors...
Sometimes I think they should not,
and that a person should just... Continue forth
Nevertheless, this was well expressed.

Dear N,
I felt the suffocation of my own issues in this write. I think the words drown and sink were the triggers. For me there are certain people who smother the life force no matter what I give and I think my interpretation of your poem has illuminated that for me. I dig the photo. It looks like a pencil drawn torso? Very cool and the write is very great. 😊

The weight of the world is like stones in a suspected witches pocket. Sometimes we float other times we sink. The photo is actually of a half burnt log in a fire pit and I tweeked it until it was art. 😘

Thank you
It's a log burnt in a fire pit tweeked until it became something else.

The life of an empath is made even more difficult by the fact that they don't get to choose who to empathize with. You have to feel that energy everywhere and it cannot be ignored. Those that can ignore this all-encompassing energy are not empaths (though will sometimes claim to be...probably some shit they saw on FB) and these people will never be aware. But you will be acutely aware. It's one big viciously sad & beautiful circle. It's really what makes a poet special.

I grew up in house where no one listened I learned young to say the most impact full statement in the least amount of time in order to be heard. Also swearing turned their ears on too. Thank you Feral.
