she should be on top of the world
but she isn't
the elevator's a success
stuck 10 floors
beneath and
she can see what it
is she wants
where she wants to go
just not how to get
there
not a glass ceiling
so much as
the hand of God pressing down
letting only a select
few slip through His Almighty fingers
we all stuck on the
escalators below
behind her yet equally lost in this universe of ambition
to be more than we
are
to get what we
believe we deserve
she drenched in
talent the rest of us ache to have
our struggle to find a place in this pecking order
and not feel let down or unsatisfied
eyeing her and thinking if she can't make it
with all that she has
what hope is there for the rest of us
clutching the railing
just not to fall back
gripping like she
does
not to lose what we
have
