It's not modesty
I swear it's only disbelief
If it was modesty
then honesty would always
be make-believe

It makes me a bit skeptical
that you would get critical
of me being all high and mighty
and standing on a pedestal
(that in reality sinks below the surface)
of me having a little dignity
in one aspect of myself
an aspect that I hate a majority of the time

When I stand on a pedestal
it sinks into the ground
and the only people that can see me
are the ones looking down.
