I don't know how to describe
But they all seem to inscribe
Their every pain on me
Whenever someone feels down
I just kind of start to frown
But they will never see
I know it doesn't make sense
My feelings are so intense
And they drive me crazy
What I feel is much deeper
The cliff doesn't get steeper
Will I ever be free?

Struggles of an empath... It's very difficult to describe in words, but when I say I know how someone feels, I say it in all seriousness. I may not know how to express my feelings, but they're there. I kind of just soak up people's emotions unconsciously. Like, there will be someone who walks in the room who's in a bad mood, and I just kind of feel horrible without even realizing someone has walked in. Call me weird, but I can't help it. I may never say anything, but I know. And that's weird. But then my mind gets so clouded by other people's emotions that I'm not always sure how I actually feel... wow, I'm too complicated. Oh well.
