Comes Crashing Down
I build a block tower
I do my best to make it sturdy and secure
I so want this tower to stand tall and proud
I long to have the tower keep from falling
But I do something foolish,
I assume it can take the weight I put on it
I try to build it higher
And it comes crashing down
It falls onto my shoes and all I can do is stare at the wooden fragments of my failure
After a calamity it usually takes me a long time to try and build my tower again
I try again, I feel as though I’ll fail again
Sure enough, my hands get shaky
I loose my focus, and it comes crashing down again
Rarely do my towers stay standing
And if they do, they are poorly designed and foolishly conceived
And either they get knocked down or I deliberately make a foolish mistake and it falls on me again
How I wish I could figure out what I’m doing wrong
How I wish I knew what to try differently
Where should this block go?
Should I keep this here?
This there?
I feel I have absolutely no help in my building of a tower,
Oh sure, some say “We need to help Sganarelle build his tower”
And they do nothing
I wish it were simpler
I wish I was a better builder
I wish I wasn’t always looking to my feet at the fragments of splinters of wooden blocks
Then I could have a place to keep my heart.
