Audacity

You have the audacity to call me Godless? 

That makes me laugh, 

Usually I would laugh, 

Today? Today that made me frown, 

Then I erupted, 

How dare you!  

Before I knew it, 

Emotions exploded, 

I said and wrote too much,

Made me feel happier for a second, 

Then I knew I had thrown myself upon the mud.  

That is when I knew,

I had demeaned myself, 

For both you and I now rolled in it.  

Made me feel sad, Misunderstood, 

Mostly embarrassed that I had thrown myself down to your low level, 

Where you for some strange reason thought we all resided.  

Maybe the problem is, I am me and you are you, 

I am nothing great, 

Though I have always known my worth, 

I have never once sold myself short, 

For I know how lovely I am within my heart, 

That has always been enough.
