What

What is this fear that holds people back?
Staring eyes,unwavering and judgmental,
so certain members of society
can jump for the chance
to be put on a pedestal?
This is their chance
a moment to dance
Dim the lights,
sparkle and fade
Sink to incredible depths
from such majestic heights
Just another unstable moment, perhaps
familiarity breeds hate,
and all the trappings
that happily go with it...
Waiting for one voice in the wilderness
to snap completely awake,
from this lethargic reality,
we've been sucked into...
I am my own person,
the lines have been drawn
crashing through these self inflicted blocks,
that I am privy to;
Can I possible be,
my own worst enemy?
