It Is What It Is

I’m an empath,  
so I feel everything.  
You can say you’re fine,  
but I know better.  
I absorb your energy  
and then I feel it,  
between us,  
it’s a tether..  
 
It is what it is though, right?  
 
You don’t have to tell me that you need help.  
I already knew before you did..  
I’m coming to save you from the burning building you reside in,  
like you were a helpless kid.  
I’ll put myself in danger, a thousand times over..  
If it meant that I could have you safe and sound..  
But will there be reciprocity  
when you’re up, and I’m down?  
 
It is what it is..  
But, I refuse to accept that.  
It is what it is..  
Sick of the minor setbacks..  
It is what it is..  
 
It just is, what it is…
