gargoyles are guardians
some look scary
in order to frighten bad things
away from what they are
protecting
some
are afraid
of heights
others
would rather
be doing
something else
but all of us
have aches and pains
from leaning
off buildings
for our entire
lives
it's terrifying
and hard on our backs
we all have different
personalities
some of us are
VERY
aggressive
others
not so much
but all of us
can be
vicious
when necessary
I mean
I'll do everything I can
to protect the property
I was built on
but not a lot happens
where I am
not enough
to make it interesting
and besides
I wasn't carved
to look scary
I was carved
to look sad
I don't feel sad
but no one would
know that by
looking at me
gargoyles are made
for one specific purpose
and we are good
at what we do
but still
I wish
I looked more
threatening
so that when the bad
things came my way
they would take me
seriously
having said that
when I go after them
they never expect it
I mean
they think I'm easy
because of the way I look
but no gargoyle
is easy
not EVER
I'd still
like to look more like
some of my
siblings
I'd like to look
really scary
really
scary
but don't let that
put you off
please
stop and say hello
when you see one of us
we appreciate things
like that
we truly do
