The Empath's Dilemma: A Cosmic Comedy Poem by Doris Dzameshie

In the realm of feelings, where empaths roam, Their hearts like Wi-Fi routers, ever connected, Let us unravel the cosmic comedy— The tragicomedy of emotions, misdirected.

Verse 1: The Empath's Breakfast
At dawn, the empath stirs her morning brew, A blend of chamomile, moonbeams, and tears. She sips, and suddenly, the universe floods in: The neighbor's cat's existential crisis, The postman's bunions, the cashier's overdue library fines.

Chorus: Hallelujah in Overwhelm
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The empath wails, Her chakras doing the Macarena. She feels the Amazon rainforest weeping, The last Blockbuster's nostalgia, and her ex's indigestion.

Verse 2: The Empath's Tinder Date
She swipes right on a stranger's aura, Their energies entangled in pixelated sparks. Their conversation flows like a river of empathy, Until he reveals—he's a taxidermist. His favorite pastime? Stuffing existential dread.

Chorus: Hallelujah in Awkward Silence
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The empath gulps, Her heart chakra deflating like a sad balloon. She senses his childhood trauma (a lost romantic novel) , And the ghost of her pet dog, Tiger.
Bridge: The Empath's Supermarket Saga
At the grocery store, she navigates the aisles, Her cart overflowing with other people's cravings. She picks up a cucumber—oh, the cucumber! It screams, "I never fulfilled my salad destiny! "

Chorus: Hallelujah in Produce Section Chaos
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The empath twirls, Her empathetic dance causing broccoli avalanches. She soothes the bruised bananas, whispers to the avocados, And the checkout clerk? He's an aspiring poet— His rhymes stuck in the express lane.

Outro: Sunset Benediction (with a Twist)
As the sun dips low, casting auras on frozen pizzas, The empath sighs, her heartstrings tangled. She longs for a moment of isolation, A solo flight in a feeling-proof bubble.
