On A Pedestal

Image Source: The Magpie Tales

I can still hear the dogs bark

And some tongues continue to wag

Its funny you think you can break me

Your thoughts land in my dustbin bag

I am not going to ever give up

You can cuss and curse all you want

I shall stand tall and do it my way

Your baseless claims do not haunt

You clearly do not have the guts

To point the gun directly at me

That's why you target my close ones

How typically lame, my eyes can see

Go ahead do it, spew the venom

I shall get past it all with a smile

How do you think I made it this far

While you are still stuck in the first mile

You have been trying for a while now

Aren't your fingers enough burnt

Spin your web, spread you tales

Not to pay heed, I have learnt

Call me all the names you want

Based your minuscule thoughts, I won't fall

I have the love of my life on my side

Together we shall conquer it all

Days, months and years may pass

Your jealousy will only multiply

Get set to turn green all the way

I have now grown wings to fly

There is a reason why I'm up here

While you are one among the crowd

You easily blend with the background

While I sit here all satiated and proud

Your eyes may fall upon me

Beyond that you cannot enter

Take down all those around me

I don't care, my love is my center

I can solely stand up against all of you

Without a thought I shall slay one by one

After bearing your nonsense for so long

This would surely feel like fun

You all are ambition less fools

For mediocre you all shall settle

I'm the queen of my own world 

That's why I'm here on a pedestal
