You put yourself
Above the world
To prove that you're important

But you see not
That a pedestal built
On shifting sands
Will only fall down, around you

How blind you are
To the light of life
Seeing only, the light IN your life

Drama Queen, my dear
Why can't you seem to see
You are not above the rest

You're pedestal built on shifting sands
Is built upon the same sands;
Shifting in all our lives

Relinquish your crown
Stand amongst the rest of us
Look through the grains of sand
You are no different
Michelle Jordan Mar 2012
One can stand strong
For just so long
Eventually, even mountains will fall.
All things in time...
Must come to their end.
And words will be, forever silent; silenced
By the world.

Walls.
We all have them,
We all ***** them,
And they all come tumbling down.

Walls,
Are built of love.
Walls,
Are built of pain.
Walls,
They are built to protect us.

Walls,
They keep me
From reaching you,
Hidden behind the other side.

Walls!
How I wish
That yours would topple,
So I can reach you.

Walls!
Between us
Walls!
Around us
Walls!
They are killing me.

— The End —
