Wearing this Empathy
Is consuming me
To the point where I'm losing
Sleep
And gaining Anxiety.
I want to see
The potential in everybody
But being the Rock for everyone
Is becoming exhausting.
No need to rescue me
I'll go about my day 
Trying to relax 
Trying to breathe.
A sounding board 
Is all I'll ever be
If I let this Empathy 
Consume me.
This time it's my turn
To let go, be Free
Because wearing everyone's Damage
Has taken its toll on me.
