My Sister

She’s moving away

She’s moving on

Starting life

And i'm proud of her

I want her to be free

Our parents don’t understand her

And I hope someone will

But I’ll miss her

I’ve thought about this moment for a while

I’ve cried over it a lot

The only one who understands me

The only one I trust

The only one I can fight with and not be mad at 

The only one I can cry with and not be judged 

The only person in my entire life that I feel fully comfortable with is leaving

She is going to walk out that door

And out of my life at the same time

The Curse of Empathy

We’ve been told empathy is a good thing

That it’s important to feel for others

But I don’t want to 

Why must I feel their pain?

They are hurt

So I am hurt

I am hurt 

And they just stare

They wonder why I cry so much

But when I look into others eyes my stomach drops

I feel horrible for them when I don’t even know their name

So to you it is a gift

But I am forever cursed with others pain
