Empathy for the devil

thoughts on sociopaths

Empathy for the devil,
sleeping inside my secret spaces,
edge of sanity eroding
under the sociopathic curtain
placed over the entry wounds
like a sheet pulled over a body
on a slab of cold steel.

better to slam the drawer shut
and walk away.

Hmmm.... never been drawn to the dark side


I feel sick around Negative people
and ones that have evil attached to them
it is like they're sucking the energy out
of me draining me so I stay away from the dark
it is like someone Choking my neck.




I am way too sensitive to energy Empathic.



This was interesting look on things.



God bless. Benita

It's interesting how people are interpreting this. Just because someone has empathy or understanding for why a person may become a sociopath doesn't mean they are drawn to them.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

I thought this was interesting and wasn't
saying you were drawn to them but I can't be around anyone negative
so maybe I was saying as far as me but this was still interesting non the less been overly stress so maybe my thought process is off been crying yesterday and all day today finely been able to calm down . Take care

Sometimes, we are strangely drawn to the dark. Curiosity, I guess. It is in these moments when wisdom and discernment are tested. Our choices, really, because that is what we have to go through and to learn from them.

Perhaps, thanks for the review.

You have to stop binging on Dexter, KL. I am having problems with Youtube tonight, Pryde's video won't load, and now your Slipknot is giving me "An error occurred"
Can you ever really slam it shut and walk away though?

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah, I know, what can I say? I hope the video works, I will check it.
