Empath

When you can't help but feel the same.

They're closing in around me

I can hardly breathe

If there's a light at the end

It's something I cannot see

Panic swells inside

But I hide it deep down

I cannot, I cannot cry

Or else I will drown

I'm quickly falling apart

With friends & foes alike

They're attacking my soul

And I'm losing the fight

Taking their emotions

is something I can't help

I've tried to control it

This secret I cannot tell.
