Self Righteous Pedestal


Here I stand before you
Searching for answers
To questions I cannot perceive
Trying earnestly to comprehend
The bitterness in your heart
The absence of humility in your soul
How you amuse yourself
Believing that disingenuous
Acts of goodness
Will somehow prevent the world
From seeing you for who you truly are
Why you work so diligently
To hold others back
To set up obstacles and landmines
Only to make yourself feel better
For only a soul that can never be trusted
Will find it impossible to trust another
Why should I swim against the currents
To satisfy your illusions of peace
Watching you abuse
Your miniscule authority
Lie, cheat, and deceive
Yet stand on your self righteous pedestal
As the self appointed keeper of this castle
Here I stand before you
Free of all the bitterness that consumes you
Free of all the pettiness that inspires you
And ultimately, free of all the poison
That will one day come back to destroy you
