Dear Empath

A Midas touch, you seep in the misery from others,
where are you to contain all that you have soaked?
Like the dam that has overflowed with compassion,
you tear up to the unfairness and unkindness.

Protecting others from the scorching sun,
never did you realize how much darkness you had garnered in your shadow.
Avid listener, you seem to seek white noise,
the thumping of heart and head of all you care for, deafens your senses.

You my dear deserve appreciation,
not all love like you do, neither care like you do.
Let go of your reservations and that fake smile,
cry your heart out, for others they ache.

You see the world with microscope, eyes wide open,
eyes closed, you dream of a perfect getaway with others.
Miracle worker, you soothe, you heal, you pray,
you dream, you are patient, you are kind.

Like the ripple in the lake,
your thoughts have wave of transition.
You my dear are a Firefly, let your light shine,
shine-on, for you deserve all you desire in your life.
