She Lives Her Joy

She lives her joy – parading it out into the world
It glows from within her, traveling out into sparkling streams
We feel it, and we respond accordingly – loving her
Anyway, the empaths do.
I have no idea how the others are feeling.
I guess the psychopaths are planning ways to squelch her light.
To take it from her, and to smash it into bits.
I am sad that part of me knows this.

There is a wonderful song, "How Great My Joy!" Your poem reminded me of it. Seems whenever anyone is bubbling over with joy, someone is always trying to burst that bubble. Sad.

The psychopaths love the challenge of taking joy away.
