This I Believe...

 

                                                              This I Believe..


 

     I believe that following the shadows of a crowd leaves you to be nothing but a withered emotion.

For I have seen and witnessed those

who lay back behind a crowd only to be finally

recognized by someone else.

Rejected by “supposedly” friends, I’ve witnessed.

Days piled on to weeks, weeks piled to months,

and months piled on to years of a dark void.  

Family came a long way to see

and feel that person’s pain.

Through me, I’ve seen those who still to this day

follow a crowd and to develop to be doing the same thing

with the no job or career plan.

Education was leaked down the drain

letting their high school diploma be given away to another.

Till this day, he or she looks pale to foresee

their empty hall of fame.

Why follow another? Just be your own leo.
