The Eiffel Tower sits on it’s throne draped in gold
endless splendor, glory, and thoughtfulness
It has been around for 25 years and still thrives in popularity
Basking in it’s recognition and awe
Then lies me, the less sparkly tower down the street, just as old and yet unpopular
however she is outgoing and strong, perfectly imperfect,
with insight on the world that can only be gained with experience of her place in this world
Hoping to become the golden star the Eiffel Tower is
Always competing for a chance to prove herself to spectators
as they crowd like cattle
passing judgments about her dilapidating structure,
But the herd neglects to look at her from other angles to see what pieces are still whole
unlike the Eiffel Tower that is feed with encouragement and applause
Just another one of the shabby appearances thrust into the world, ordinarily overlooked
Hoping to become the golden star the Eiffel Tower is
But she will get her day soon
determination and courage never amounted to nothing
and everyone will see her
because there are never any good defeats and bad successes
Always desiring that one day, just one day,
she will finally be more than the worn out tower down the street from the famous one
but it’s a long wait for some days are more gradual than others
