A podium (plural podia) is a platform that is used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings. It derives from the Greek πόδι (foot). In architecture a building can rest on a large podium. Podia can also be used to raise people, for instance the conductor of an orchestra stands on a podium as do many public speakers. Common parlance has shown an increasing use of "podium" to incorrectly describe a lectern.
In sports, a type of podium is used to honour the top three competitors in events such as the Olympics. In the Olympics a three-level podium is used; the highest level in the centre holds the gold medalist, to their right is a somewhat lower one for the silver medalist, and to the left of the gold medalist is an even lower platform for the bronze medalist. In many sports, results in the top three of a competition are often referred to as "podiums" or "podium finishes". In some individual sports, "podiums" is an official statistic, referring to the number of top three results an athlete has achieved over the course of a season or career. The word may also be used, chiefly in the United States, as a verb, "to podium", meaning to attain a podium place.

Genres: Comedy, Short,Sorry, nothing in this world is sorry,
nothing seems to high,
'cause I'm ready, waiting for...
ready, waiting for the jump.
Feeling fragile in my bones,
need a clean-up of my life.
My headache is wishpering
wishpering that i can fly.
I prepare myself to look,
without faith I look up there
and I think nobody is there.
Falling happily, feeling well.
With a stupid smile on my face,
all the voices with a grin.
Here, wishper at me and I will fly!
Listen: I could smile again
and there is no time to cry.
Something tells me: "that is good"
If you want to, you must try!
and I will fly!
Oh! Ain't you there?
