She Is a Comic
She is a comic.
A comedienne.
You will not be able to stop laughing.
I am an empath.
I meet her and feel powerfully sad.
She has perfected the cover up.
Covering up her anguish with jokes.
Covering up her disappointment by uplifting others.
I have to get away, for her sorrow is too deep.
Being an empath, I recognize despair
When I hear it laugh.
