Dark Waters

I wrote this based on how I feel sometimes as an Empath.

Standing still

watching people pass me by,

the waves of emotions they leave behind
I absorb them as it sends me spiraling down

into a storm of confusion.

This confusion blinds me completely
unable to identify if what I feel

is my own or a stranger's emotions.

I feel like I'm drowning at sea. 

The storm of emotions
sways me like a boat floating free,

the cradle of the waves grows colder

my mind races, unable to see clearly

drowning within an ocean of confusion

feeling every ounce of pain,

feeling the rain pouring down 

I lose myself at deep sea.

Each day that passes me by

I'm drained emotionally and physically

unable to escape this curse

my body turns into the host of the unknown.

The emotional roller coaster
locks me in a four wall room

unable to breathe, unable to speak,

it feels like I'm swimming in dark waters
I struggle to keep myself at float

but the longer I try to fight it drains my energy

unable to move,
I feel chained down to the unknown.

The storm of emotions
sways me like a boat floating free,

the cradle of the waves grows colder

my mind races, unable to see clearly

drowning within an ocean of confusion

feeling every ounce of pain,

feeling the rain pouring down 

I lose myself at deep sea.

I'm drowning.
