Angel

Look at me
face shining brightly
standing tall on a pedestal

but look closer and see
the glimmer in my face is nothing but tears
and my pedestal is crumbling

it's lonely up here

where is my angel
to catch me when I fall off this undeserved pedestal
and wrap me in silver wings?

protect me from the world
in a shimmering chrysalis
without questions
just for a little while...

I'm imperfect like everyone
maybe I just hide it better

Now i'm sitting here
on the pedestal which i built for others
and waiting for my angel to come
and understand.
