Stronghold


Everyone is put above me,
 
and no one is ever below me.
 
I am the bottom of the pyramid.
 
Always relied upon for support,
 
but only given attention so that others don't fall.
 
Little did they know that the strongest people are always on the bottom of the pyramid,
 
and the weakest are those who stepped on everyone to get to the top.
 
But the top of the pyramid is always the first part to fall.
