Pedestal of the Sun

Just when you feel alone

We're there for you

See the shining sun

It burns for you

Sometimes

We're all sad

When we forget

The happy days

And the smiles 

These streets 

Weren't meant

For suicide

And dark thoughts

Come around

It's not over

Just because you feel it

Doesn't mean it's true

Trust me

We'll stand with you

This is what we do

Stand by you

You're strong

Lifted up

And we'll make sure

You aren't toppled

The shine 

Dims now

You're a flare in the dark

And we respect it

So we'll fight

Speak, think, live

To keep you up

On the pedestal

Of the sun

Love the message here. I pictured someone standing behind another person with an encouraging hand on their back while reading. I think in some places, mainly the second stanza, you could have used a little bit stronger language...'joyful' rather than 'happy,' etc.

I like the purpose of this poem. Sometime we need to assist our friends and family. Take them into the sun and create laughter and have some fun. I enjoyed the complete poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

I like the positive 'pep-in-step' tone you;ve implied in this piece...it adds so much to the musicality and message of it. This is truly a great upbeat piece to me...the sort that brighten your day:)
