Feel my sorrow, feel my pain,
I want you to know, that I live in rain.
You go through your life the same as ever,
Things in your life only change for the better.
Well, we’re not all blessed like you,
Some of us just can’t make due.
We are as salt in rain,
We feel our skin melt, we’re raked with pain.

As I wonder far and wide,
I have no friends, in which to confide.
My cold, cold shadow’s my only friend,
My only companion, until the end.

What goes on within your mind,
What is it that makes you so blind
To all the pain that I must go through,
To the stain on my heart, the one that soaks through.

I can feel your very soul,
I know all your stories untold,
Just through a single glance,
Into your eyes, at your stance.
Can’t you do this too?
Can’t you take a clue?
Can you not read another’s mind
And see all that others cannot find?
Or am I alone in seeing these things?

Why is this empath’s curse placed only on me
Why am I the only one to see
All the sorrows of the world
As fate’s plans are unfurled.
It seems as though none other can fathom
What is charging directly at them.

I understand all of their pain,
For I too live in the rain.
An empath’s curse rests upon my head,
I know for now, more than is said.

I've often felt alone in the world, mainly because of my uniqueness. On of my unique traits is that I seem to be an empath: I can feel other's pain and sometimes take it from them and bear it myelf. Also somthing of a telopathic skill. I dunno. It tends to scare others, in any case.

I know exactly what you mean. That telepathic thing you are talking about is or was your attempt to shield yourself from others' emotions and it tends to scare people. Its Not by know means Telepathy but it is where you project your emotion or a "mask" sometimes scary out and in turn scare others.

I disagree with pest... some people have this gift and have it for life... I believe your true in what you say because of the rain. When an empath is over flowing with others and their own emotions they use water to purify themselves and feel more at ease... Hence, I believe you.

the telepathic thing u were talking about might be ( at least in my case ) ...like that u say the exact thing as someone else in the same time..or just feel that ur gonna get a call from a certain loved one ....seconds later it really happends.
Also it could be like... you know to say just the RIGHT thing when someone really needs
...still Empathy hurts....only for the empath.

On the bright side ... its a personality trait of Angels ( at least thats what Religion says).

I understand where you're getting at. As an empath myself, I am able to feel emotions as well. Can you feel auras? It is a tough life as an empath, but it's something to be proud of. You can really help people, even if you are uncomfortable feeling others emotions, it can be quite interesting. There is no need to feel alone, sometimes you can find others that you can talk about it with. Emapthy can be very surprising, I just learned I can tell when someone is having a pain attack. xD I wish you all the luck in the world.

If what you say is true then I feel sorry for you. The power of the empath rests within us all but only a few can be bothered to tap into it. while others have to.
:iconsorceresstar:
I know what you mean... I only recently learned to shield myself a little. My emotions used to get all screwed up by passerby's... chanching from happy to sad every 5 seconds because someone walks by who's feeling that way is really exhausting... not to mention that it's confusing. But just as I am currently learning to control all of my powers, isn't there anyone who can help you? If you need a tip just send me a message

I really appreciate your support, I have to admit, though I know it not a good thing, that I don't have a whole lot of people in my life, but I believe it's something someone such as your self could more than understand. I'll keep your offer in mind and know that I shall be happy to do the same for you.

Death is nothing to me for while I am, death is not come and when I am not, what worry have I?
