Life, as energy
Pathways and doors, opening
up to the future

Oh, it hurts to feel
Opening and closing doors
Seeing into eyes

Closed to the future
Unwilling to see it pass
closed to the darkness

Closed to the feelings
the anger, the rage, the pain
it comes and it goes.

It fills me inside
Every cell of my body
Filled with love and hate.

The doors to the past
They’re opening and closing
Possibilities

Being an empath
So exhausting, so tiring.
Oh, I want to cry!

I bleed eternal
Blood seeps from my pores and mind
My soul weeps within!

We are all but light
Light in the darkness within
Light showing the way.
