Broken Pedestal by Satin

Childish eyes that did not see
Fabricating the man, not reality
Godlike creature standing tall
Too perfect in life to ever fall

Worshiped and revered
Strength infinite, it appeared
Your knowledge unbound
Kept me safe and sound

Death brought forth the truth
Just an ordinary man and uncouth
Shattered illusions and broken dreams
Youthful eyes spill forth in streams

Years of anger and hurt
Wasted energy, left inert
Forgive me daddy, for now I see
You’re the man you were meant to be
