You are Free to Step Down....


How long will it be 
Before the need
To hoist someone
To a pedestal
Is seen 
As a perpetual
Renunciation 
and
Devaluing 
Of what it is
To be
You?

Nobody
Across the board
Knows more about 
All there is to know...
No - (body)
Knows 
What it is
To be 
You

Everyone 
Can represent 
A teacher 
They might have 
More to share
If they allow
Themselves
To be seen 
Outside of their 
Expertise container
You might 
Gain a greater 
Love and respect 
For the 
Universality
of 
Humanity
and 
For 
What it is
To be you..

No need to reinvent
The wheel
"Pull-ups" and inspiration
From another
a glorious
Embodiment of cooperation


There comes a time
When 
Perpetual pedestal placement
and 
The frequent displacement
of it's occupant

Through life itself
or 
By your own hand
Becomes a grand avoidance
Of the opportunity 
To declare 
The arrival of 

You as:

Hero. 
Guru. 
Teacher.
Guide.

You serve not...
Yourself 
or your chosen
pedestal occupant
Through this elevation..

To more fully embrace
Yourself
In 
Love of Self 
Will free
You to be 
More authentically You
and 
Orient your love 
Toward another
As
The extension of 
Your love for self
Rather 
Than make them
The object 
of 
or the source 
Of love

Both. 
A complete
Abandoning of
The love that you are
And 
What it is 
to be you....
