I'm No Leader

Free Verse

Sure, I move fast.

Tasks and words alike.

But you call me a leader?

Ha! Don't make me laugh!

I can't even think straight!

Let alone lead!

I'm an all-out follower.

No one follows me!

Honestly, you crack me up!

I'm not that type of girl!

You should know by now that I only go

with what other people want

Do you really think I could do something like that?

The only battles I fight are on my own.

Not with others, not on a team.

It's funny that you think so.

Just think about it for a moment!

The fights outside my heart!

I don't know how to handle those,

I can barely handle my own..!

You say I can help you.

You say I can lead you.

Yet I can't even lead myself!

You should know by now that I'm absolutely no leader!

This is the first time I've talked to you in years.

I'm standing over your stone now.

I'll try to listen to what you said

before you left me in that white bed.

I'll try to be a leader, but no promises.

I'm moving somewhere new, so I'll have a new chance!

I'll do my best to try and listen...

All I can say is I'll be leading in sadness.
