My heart of gold
I feel too much
I’m too empathetic
Problems, I can’t touch
My tears, too thick
When someone shares
Their pain, it’s theirs
But I make it mine
Until they’re fine
My heart has held
A hundred secrets
From trauma to threats
To listen, I never failed
I can’t hold it inside
I’m too kind
To toss people aside
And not hear the ones I find
I am known
For my generosity
But it hides some fragility
I make people’s sadness my own
I have a heart of gold
As I have always been told
Now look at me and see
Helping often breaks me
