My light has to be hidden from each and every walk of life; it is a target for the darkness and strong emotions of others that are rife. My soul is too deep and fragile to be torn apart time and time again, by impassioned people who end up causing unintentional pain. I am crushed by the weight of the universe. They say to be an empath is a gift - but to me it feels like a curse.

Empath
My light has to be hidden from each and every walk of life; it is a target for the darkness and strong emotions of others that are rife. My soul is too deep and fragile to be torn apart time and time again, by impassioned people who end up causing unintentional pain. I am crushed by the weight of the universe. They say to be an empath is a gift - but to me it feels like a curse.
