Why do we care so much ?
What is it that makes us so
sensitive to others emotions ?
Is cause we have been there
Or is it just who we are

To stop and ask again
are you ok ?
To offer to stay and be there
cause that's what , I wish
someone would do for me

So easy to just continue on our way
not wasting our time
To just do what we had plans to do

That's not me
I can't not be that way
I am to caring a deeply
sensitive soul

Others may say we give to much
Better to let them figure it out
They will ask if they need anything

I get that to
but will they or would , I
Most likely I wouldn't want
to be a burden

I am sensitive that's true
I feel others emotions
and it has a power over me

What is it ?
and why is was this gifted to me ?

Just a ?
that's been running through
my thoughts ..
