I kept telling her I was insane today
that I had been driven to madness by the pain I see
death, ******, conspiracy, blood, hate
and everyone turns a blind eye so I must be mad
that I take in all the pain and reflect it upon myself
and too many think I am being unreal
for I cannot control these things
but it is who I am, an empath, I refuse to change
and I scream the truth and all I hear back are lies
that I am in fact, just insane

To which she replied
why is it you are insane
do you not think that perhaps you are the sane one
and the rest of the world has gone mad
that they live in a fantasy land
because you know the truth and they deny it
even when blood is spilled upon their own doorstep
they still do not see
so be sure you are the sane one
you are the one who is human
I have a feeling some others may draw some comfort out of this. Danielle you come to mind in particular.
