The Woman Behind the Ideas
Why are my ideas never ones to be talked about
or the focus of our conversation?
It always just goes back to you,
you you you.
Always you,
with your brilliant ideas
and your funny disposition.
But when I bring my thoughts
or ideas to the foreground,
give them space to grow and thrive,
you're shocked that I could come up with something
so amazing and important.
I don't understand how you get to be the genius
and I have to be the one that sparks your ideas.
And when I want my ideas to stand on their own
you never reciprocate the same amount of enthusiasm or energy that I have for yours.
Part of me wonders if you could be jealous of me
but I sadly think the reality is
that you don't think I'm anything special
or that my ideas are noteworthy
and demand the spotlight like yours do.
