Pedestal
I had sat upon a pedestal
For years without disgrace,
Then real life came along
And knocked me on my face.
I'd pick myself back up
And try to climb again,
But half way to the top
It caused me too much pain.
I wished the loved ones in my life
Had never put me there,
On the very top of a pedestal
Where they'd look up at me and stare.
I won't go back to such a place
I would really make a fuss,
I don't belong way up there
In this world, nobody does.
You see the air is very thin
Your ears don't seem to listen,
And all those clouds around your head
Affect your normal vision.
Lynn Barany
