I am a mentor,
Or that is the word that some have used to describe me
When all I can think of to describe them is — a friend, human.
The person that holds so much worth to others in leading,
Is also me as a follower, a learner.
To learn from mishaps but to lead by example.
To open a book and crease the page
While still wondering if what you read so far is worth reading.
I may not be the most pure of souls,
But some have shown that the dark-hearted can still find a reason to exist.
I may be flawed, I may end up being a fool.
But those blemishes is what I am trying to teach others as a part of beauty,
While still not fully agreeing with it myself.
Temptations,
Are said to be only for the weak-kneed wanderlust beings,
But they are also realization.
Live in a room for once,
Where time stands still,
And don't ever ask me why I might not take my medications.
As for me that is forgoing on forged happiness.
I dare you;
The person who finds a leader is someone who has issues with
Following their own self;
To frantically look for the moment,
When I will ever say that mixing extreme metaphor with truth,
Is bogus to those –
Who hold their hands out like wings on the top of a hill
Running down it feeling wind.
But not ever able to currently say,
that they are air-borne.
Tell me, that you have never dreamt of a different life.
Contentedness in all forms, happiness in arms reach – pull on it,
The string broke and now there are thunderous winds.
But I still will see you planting your feet in the ground,
Not sure if growling like a lion at his opponent,
Will be a fulfillment of sorts.
But if I am your leader,
Then please, let me have YOU lead by learning,
And then you can see what I see you as;
Equal.
