Aspiring Doctor

by darcy-sahn

Everybody has their story I want to here them all at once To feel them all at once With a curious disconnect A clinical warmth To compartmentalize with a surgeon's precision Then when my heart is full, Burst open and bathe everyone in empathy But not emotion

Notes

I used to be good at listening to the struggles of others, but my mind seems to have lost some of its elasticity. I just want to understand what others going through, but be able to know when I need to disconnect for my sake.
