Off and Springing
Family Rhymes by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.
copyright © 1991-2003

Empath

More than a few
Things about you
I have been learning to like.
Surely the best
Is that you are blessed
With such a keen sense of psych.

Touch, taste and sight,
Smell are all right;
Sound is so overrated.
Lately I find
You probing my mind;
Your psyche's not easily sated.

Whatever I feel
I'm bound to reveal
To your empathetic senses.
You easily find
What crosses my mind,
And I have no defenses.

Nothing I do
Mystifies you,
Nothing can be concealed.
There must be ways
To block the mind's rays.
Maybe an EM field?

Not everyone
Thinks this is fun.
Some men would be annoyed.
I understand,
Think that it's grand
Being Deanna Troi'd.
