The Chosen One

The Chosen One

A Poem by Erica Ross

Do you know what it feels like to have the whole world depend on you?
Well at least that's how it FEELS
The average person probably doesn't know this feeling
No, the average person probably couldn't deal

Now I'm not saying that you all don't feel the world on your shoulders too
But I'm just saying, it's like I was born for this, and this wasn't born for you
To risk my smile just to see theirs
To hold back my own just to wipe their tears

Some days I sit and think..
Is this the life God has for me?
Am I The Chosen one?
Yes, I am.

I've collected the stories of those that have crossed my path
I've turned their tales into great tragedies in my head
And when I think about the life I have..
I'm like man, it's not that bad

But my great peers bring about all these fears
I know my destiny
But I just wonder if I'll be around to see theirs
..You know, the feeling of uncertainty

But I say, if you wanna know me forever
Then it is so
Because The Chosen one is who everyone wants
The One who even God himself wants to keep close
