I understand people most of the time, even if it's not easy for me,

Absorbing, feeling the emotions of many even if it can be draining,

It's like heading for battle I only wear thin armor,

But even if I may wear a strong armor, it won't suffice,

The emotions and energy drowning my senses, breaking me to pieces.

But you see, I try and try to deepen my understanding,

Even if it requires so much strength emotionally,

But what can I do, if I wear my heart on my sleeve,

Being the one who constantly feels everything even if I don't want to,

Perhaps, that's both my gift and my curse.
