Follower - Revised

I was a follower A coward, Just trying to fit in In this busy, busy empire Then I met a person, who believed she had it all not in the bad way, as you would suppose She gave me some advice, Can you guess what it was? Simple and plain, Just powerful enough: She said if you hold your head up high But not so far That your nose is in the sky... If you're proud of what you acquire, Your confidence shoots higher If you speak up, voice your opinion, Let people know that you’re not just another minion... If you be who you want to, And forget the people who say it’s not you... And if you are kind to others, Especially your mother YOU are a leader. You ARE a leader. You are a LEADER. If you stand up for the people that you may not even know Tell that ignorant harasser just to get up and go If you know where you should be, There’s a whole lot you can see If others think you're worth nothing, Show them they’re wrong by saying “You're wasting your time by trying to waste mine!” And just walk away Make sure to tell them That You’re a leader, But what are they?
