she holds your hand
feels a rush of sadness
running through disheveled veins
tears fall on silent cries
of anguish
pain courses through
in electrictified volts
she can't let go
even if she wants to
she must ride it out
let it out
take it in whatever form comes
falling to pieces
in pieces
faces streaked
hearts racing
in unison
she remains silent
holding on to the fury
of sadness
if only to relieve
to take it
pull it out of an anguished
heart
in some way to heal
it is a perplexing
for some to understand
her nature to heal
to feel them so deeply
that she can't help but
be a mirror of their pain
to be that ocean for them
to drown in
and come out fresher
more in tune
to who they are
what they want
need
to be so seen
it becomes a demand 🫴 😌

To be so intimately in tune with another being is such an extraordinary thing ✨️ I don't know why I was given this "gift" but if it helps just one person ..

Thank you so much Healed for your beautiful comments. It can be overwhelming sometimes if your surrounded by too many emotions. Learning to seperate yourself from it and take time for yourself is very important.

Thank you so much buddhakitty for the excellent comments .. yes at times it can feel like a curse. When I was younger it kind of made me angry that I was in a way forced to carry the weight of others and I would fight it .. but, it is a losing battle. Random strangers are drawn to me and just open themselves up .. then they are often shocked that they do. I've heard some amazing, beautiful, heart-rending stories from complete strangers.. and I had to change my mindset and just accept. Making sure I distance myself too so not to become entangled is so important. We all have a desire to be seen and heard, sometimes it's much easier with a complete stranger.
Hugs to you
