The Pedestal

You set me up this high

And my faults stand out

Like steaming bloody footprints

On marble, cold and white

 

You look at me

And see a goddess

Pale and perfect

You don't see the cracks in my façade

 

I look outwards

From myself

And the inside that I see

Feels ugly, ravaged, decimated

 

And I wonder,

When the marble cracks

And falls apart

And the core of me

 

The soul of me

Is exposed

Where will you

Be?
