Dead Idea

It is a relief to hear you speak... Knowing my feelings got ahead of me, Seeing now the differences in our mentality, Breaking free to see reality, I ask myself was it a mistake to care so intensely, But then again sometimes God uses our hearts and prayers of empathy, To feel for someone else yet also for our own clarity, No longer do I feel intimidated to speak, or to question my intelligence and worth, That my simple way and my heartfelt words are more than enough on this earth, And how amazing it feels to be free, Free to be me..the beautiful person God has made me to be, Without judgemental analysis...or worries of what you might think, I put you on a pedestal, because so many others did, They rubbed off on my idea of you, and intimidated me to hold my tongue, Now I see you as my equal, all of that pettiness is Gone!
