I\'m placed on a pedestal
Too high up to be reached by others
So high up I feel smothered
Walking on eggshells to avoid mistakes
Eluding the idea that I\'m human
But I\'m so high up on that stupid, stupid pedestal
The clouds block out any essence of humanity
Making mistakes, expressing the wrong emotions
I feel like I can\'t be human
I feel the need to be perfect
Be the person who can\'t be weak
Be the person you wish to seek
But I don\'t want to be on my pedestal
I just want to jump off
Let my body smash against the ground
I want to drive into a tree
I want to get hit by a car
I want to be hospitalized
I don\'t want to die
I just need people to realize that I can
So that maybe they hold me closer
So that they hug me tighter
So that maybe, just maybe, I can come off of that stupid, stupid, pedestal
I need to be held
I need to be known not as the perfect child on that pedestal
But as the child that is also human
But as just a child who needs a break from that pedestal
But I\'m stuck up here
Stuck on this stupid stupid pedestal
Hoping that maybe one day, somehow, someway
I\'ll be free from my pedestal
