Pedestal

I'm looking back on those I once looked up to

and I can't help

but feel that I'm looking down. Everyone I've ever admired has left me with

nothing. Not even a memory. I remember growing up

and yearning to be just like

you. It pains me to admit that I held you in such a high regard

as if my life

would mean nothing without your approval. But now I see the error of my ways.

All that time spent searching for myself in someone else. I think it's safe to

say that I've become everything I wanted to be. And no one can take that from

me. All of my heroes have failed me

but I won't ever fail myself. I can't

believe how naive I used to be when I never really needed anyone. All of my

heroes have failed me

but I won't ever fail myself.
