The Leader

The glue that holds everyone together

And suddenly you feel free to be yourself

No need to put up a front

Because you’re safe from judgement

Conversation flows

The path of least resistance

In the darkest of nights

His bright light guides all those who follow

The responsibility is great

So he questions his own abilities

Plagued by feelings of inadequacy

But radiating the energy of a leader

Someone who speaks

And others will listen

A comforting force

In an otherwise tragic reality

Perhaps he holds onto who he was in the past

And is blind to the qualities we all see

One day he’ll understand

His impact on others is his greatest strength

And his inability to see himself realistically is his greatest weakness

But now is a journey

To build that confidence

And find a mirror that reveals his true potenetial

The past is gone and it’s time to let go

Of who you once were

And who you thought you were supposed to be

The act of being is enough

And growth will follow

That’s all you can do

And all you can hope for
