You set me upon this pedestal
Having faith that I will rise
from the stereotypes

But I am at most terrified
scared of failing you

Time after time after time
you forgive me of my mistakes
you always kept the faith

But I don't know how long
I will be able to satisfy you

You are always there to catch
me when I do fall, and you set
me right again, on that pedestal
