Mask of an Empath
written by: Chasity Gaines
@ChasityAnneGai1
She Never Cries
in front of people
If she can help it
a sign of weakness
It portrays
She keeps her guard up
Always aware without
the act of Awareness
Keeping her own council
she hides behind masks
Facades, she Cloaks herself
Burying her true self
For that Self is quite sensitive
a continuous barrage of emotions
Attacking every moment
Attracting the Damaged
And the Lost
an Empath trying best
To Shield herself
from the Ugliness
of the world and human nature
As well as her own staggering hurts
She tucks it away, deep within
a throbbing mass, Pulsating
Deep within her heart and soul
though the toothy smiles Deceive

I am a 35 year old mother, wife, and grandmother. I started writing as soon as I knew how to hold a pencil and form words. I always carried a little black notebook with me so when inspiration hit.
I write poetry, fantasy, and creative non-fiction. I hold a Bachelors in Creative Writing and English from Southern New Hampshire.
I finally gave up on my mundane job to become a full-time writer. I am participating in NaNoWriMo for the first year!
I love to read, write, mediate, listen to music, spend time with family, and relax at the beach.
