The only thing keeping her from being classified a sociopath
According to a licensed therapist
Is the fact that she is capable of empathy
So how does one explain away the criteria
Symptoms of problematic behavior
Barely kept in check
Violence simmering under the paper thin surface
Having her own code of right and wrong
As part of her psychosis
