pedestals

redkite-14

I can’t be your hero. I know what you said and it touched deep in my heart.
But I can’t be. I can barely maintain flight some days, let alone soar in the way I need…the way I desire.

What happens when I falter and fall? Do I become less in your eyes? Do I disappoint?

Not something I want to do. I disappoint myself at times.

It’s not about me feeling worthy or not worthy. It’s more about expectations attached to being on a pedestal. What are yours for me, placed so high above? And how far I can fall without even knowing….

    Trying to live up to some one else’s expectations?
    how hard that would be,
    how wise you are to back away gently…

    I think I have been.
    But that’s not his….it’s mine.
    I am flattered he thinks so highly of me. I have much fear about all this.
    Scared to death I’ll fail and fall from grace so to speak.
    And that’s not mine…it’s his…
