At least let me tell you why/how I'm this way...

What do you do
when the woman you love
loves you
yet also
thinks your too crazy
to walk the street
or to even go outside?

What if everything you believe in
she not only disagrees with
she goes as far as to dismiss it
as insane?

Like your views aren't worth the time
to have them even for just
a moment on your mind.

What if she took it a step further
and admitted your genius
exists
and in the same breath
stated you had squandered
that intellect?

A fear that heinous diseases could
have been cured
if I but focused my intellect
on something
"worthwhile".
Basically stating that my ideals are not...
I'll bet democracy sounded crazy too,
when it was an idea embraced by only a few,
and folk were ready to kill
over the constitution...
But because my ideals have that same
singular following
( for now anyway )
It's crazy?

one or two steps further I promise...

What if the person realizing these things
is both the most giving
and most supportive lover
in existence?

Even when I disagree
I'm supportive...
The laughs are irrelevant
I do that all the time.
But what's really on my mind?

Is keeping my friggin mouth shut......
Sigh.
