intimidated

i feel intimidated by you.  
by your intelligence, power,
looks, knowledge, wisdom.  
sometimes, i’m oh so afraid  
but it’s not you that i‘m afraid of -  
it’s the fear of being rejected,  
standing in your shadow,
being laughed at, or even
being judged.
 
but why do i think you’ll do that
when all you did was trying to help me
while no one else cared.
