The Wall

This is a poem I have written for two people I have never met, because they lost someone dear to them. Why? I think I have always been an empath. I suffer with those who suffer, I rejoice with those who rejoice.

I have fallen
from a great height
and I have landed
on my feet

I then climbed
Higher still
And fell again
Into the deep

I have cried
These bastard tears-
One by one
I watch them fall

Then I gather up
My Courage
And again
Ascend this wall.
