The Empath's Burden
A Selection of Poems by Melissa Lynn Walker
Them,
They have my bare arm.
And if we who fall easy and burn hot say,
"Kiss me"
then those who swim in shadowed voids beneath this black lake
can truly see the light.

I'm 24 years old and live in Upstate New York. This website has been a nice way for me to keep my work and also be able to look back on
experiences I've had as a writer and hopefully how I've grown. Poetry becomes more and more of an interest for me
as time passes, so I hope this will also serve as a way to promote my writings. I am currently exploring avenues to publish and get ther work "out there" so to speak.
