A broken ladder is all I seem to be
worthless
once used to achieve great things
to climb to great heights

What am I now?

Ah,
a broken ladder
I'm missing rungs but don't seem to care
I'm scratched
creaky
old.

People used to fight to climb me
they fought to get the "good" ladder
now I sit alone in the corner
waiting for a moment
waiting for someone to need me
but in the end
I am not needed

They found another ladder.
Now I shall be thrown away
or have I been already?
