Ka Mayia the Empath
Ka’mayia gives off the air of
Well giving off an air
Self-confidence personified,
in the form of a gorgeous caramel body
Her skin flashes with beauty,
but those eyes, oh, my, those eyes.
They are chocolate all-knowing orbs.
She has the knowledge of the masters.
Ka’mayia is an empath, so sensitive
that she has had to build walls, so shut out the hurt ones
For when they hurt, she hurts, but more painfully so.
She has love for everyone, and can feel their pain.
I note that her latest hair style reflects Medusa,
a great idea, she thought, hoping to keep strangers away.
It does not work. People are drawn to this beautiful African queen.
They tell her of their woes, their worries, their life.
She cannot go to a restaurant without pulling the entire back story
out of the waitresses, and the bartender.
And he is trained to listen! But not when she looks into his eyes.
She is an empath, and walls do not work for her. She cares too much.
