I listen to people's stories 

And I can feel their pain 

I empathize with their struggles 

And I try to make them not in vain 


I'm in tune with everybody's feelings 

Except mine, they're hard to define 

I'm lost in a sea of emotions 

And it's hard to see through the brine 


I put on a brave face and smile 

When all I want to do is cry 

I suppress my own emotions 

And never really give them a try 


I wish I could feel my own feelings 

And make sense of them too 

But it seems like I'm in a vortex 

And I don't know what to do 


Maybe it's time to take a break 

And focus on myself for a while 

To try and understand my own emotions 

And let them come out in style 


So here I am, trying to figure it out 

Taking small steps, day by day 

Hoping to find clarity in myself 

And to find my own unique way.
