Empathy in Red is a raw, soul-baring collection of poetry that speaks directly to the hearts of empaths, survivors, and anyone who has ever felt too much in a world that often feels too cruel.
In these pages, vulnerability becomes strength. Each poem explores the quiet ache of trauma, the deep complexities of love and broken relationships, and the relentless weight of being misunderstood-especially by those who use power to corrupt and control. The poet, both wounded and wise, lays bare what it means to carry the world's pain while navigating their own: to feel deeply, love endlessly, and still be left behind. Through the voice of a wounded empath, this book explores what it means to feel everything in a world that often feels like it's trying to crush you. From toxic love to betrayal, from survival to reclaiming self-worth, each piece is a step through darkness, a breath after gasping, a moment of clarity in the fog of emotional ruin. This is not just a book of poems. It's a rebellion in verse against emotional injustice, a lighthouse for the less fortunate, and a call to those who've ever been told they were "too sensitive." Empathy in Red is for the ones who break open instead of breaking down. From the pain of being gaslighted to the isolation of being the black sheep, Empathy in Red holds space for the misunderstood, the over-givers, and those who love too deeply in a world that often doesn't love back. If you've endured emotional mistreatment, spiritual betrayal, or financial hardship, this book will feel like a mirror to your wounds-and a lantern for your healing. It's for the less fortunate, the emotionally exhausted, the heartbroken, and the deeply intuitive souls who've become targets simply for feeling too much. If you've ever been the one who loves first, forgives too easily, or sees too clearly-this is your story.
