I see you:
high up on that pedestal,
perfect and charming and
perfect and golden.
Get down here for a second,
please.
Let them stomp
on you,
and turn your dreams to
ash.

The author's comments:
When I wrote this, I was having one of those days where I felt ugly and inferior compared to everyone around me. This embodies the raw thoughts I had at the time, but I know and acknowledge with clarity (as we often do after throwing a childish tantrum) that no one is perfect.
