People Are People

Never put a person

   on a pedastal.

for soon,they'll let

    you down.

for their true colors

  will begin to show.

   and hurt you,in

more ways than one.

the admiration, will

  slowly fade away.

as hurt and resentment

  come for a stay.

disappointment will slowly

       seep in

crushing all your dreams.

  people are people

no matter who we are.

  and we are only

   human after all.

Glenda, I agree never put a person so high as they will truly fall. But only because of what we expect them to be. Great writing. Love, Carol
