Empath Me

Bookmark

Being depressed was horrible
beyond belief
scary.

Yet in the deepest of despair
I became somewhat of an empath
able to feel the suffering of others
deep down in my soul.
I’m not a praying person
but I prayed for them all
I cried for them all.

No, I do not hunger
for the return of depression,
nor the storm
that nearly washed me away.
But I miss the wide heart
born from longing,
the luminous sorrow that made me listen to every broken thing as family.

I stood on the precipice
Just hanging in there
And yet
And yet
I still found time to love humanity.

Darkness has loosened its hold
but I remain here,
shaped by what I endured.
An empath
gathering human sorrow
like wildflowers
for the altar of kindness.

I do not hunger for the return of agony.
