Scarecrow!

It moved
I imagined
It was real
Life-like, ready to attack
I believed
It breathed.
It stood
Arms aloft
Appearing bigger
The breeze billowing
Its ramrod leggings
I shuddered
It sniggered.
It waved
As if to shoo
Me away
The green field behind
A tempting possibility
That I lost again
I wavered
It wondered.
It laughed
I thought
At me, my inadequacies
My attempts to succeed
Risking ridicule
Was not my destiny
I failed
It succeeded.

Our lifescape is dotted with scarecrows which we take for real. It would be good if we develop awareness that they are not real. Thanks for bringing that awareness.
