People-pleaser

Melt me across a sidewalk and walk all over me. I hope I at least smooth out the cracks. I hope one less person trips over because of me. Crave away my flaws and make me into the most beautiful sculpture. I hope no one sees my shavings. I hope you look at me in awe. Burn me when you want and watch me crumble over time. I hope I can be bright enough for you. I hope I don’t hurt anyone. Tear me down and replace me. I hope I didn’t do anything wrong. I hope I was useful to you
