11. The Burden of Empathy

9 8 4
                                    

It sucks to have
An empathetic soul.
I care for things
That I don't even want to care for.
I feel too much
And can't let things go.

I care and care
Not hoping for anything in return.
I just continue to do it
To lessen my emotional burden.
