Oh, Foolish Empath

Feel the joy, the grief,
The anger, the pain.
Feel the folly of love
And the hope that remains.
Know the sadness that follows
The thundering rain.
Feel the fingers of fear
Driving wise men insane.

Every note, every song,
Every hullabaloo.
All the masses and mobs
Closing all around you
Til control is a stranger
And options are few,
And your once sage advice
Is no longer in view.

It strains beyond reason,
It weighs beyond doubt,
The burden the empath
Must ferry about.
The taking, the giving,
The in and the out,
The searching of souls
Within, without.
