I am [not] an empath

I am not an empath, 

How could I possibly protect myself to lie and say;  

After experiencing it all second hand, 

 

More and more each day  

And it is so overwhelming 

 

what everyone goes through, 

I see, feel, live, hear, 

It's strange how I could say that I myself, 

I am an empath.
